Fix alter table drop constraint not able to drop some constraints
Description
Babelfish was hashing the constraint name for named table constraints. But no hashing was done for unnamed table constraints, unnamed column constraints or named column constraints. On the other hand the constraint name in DROP CONSTRAINT was always hashed without exception. This means we were failing DROP for all constraints which were not hashed during creation.
As a fix, we have removed the hashing step from named table constraints creation, making creation of constraints consistent for babelfish. This also allows us to remove hashing from DROP CONSTRAINT command.
Not hashing constraint name has one repercussion, Users can now create a PRIMARY KEY/UNIQUE constraint with same name as an existing Index on the same table. This was previously blocked for named table constraints but not for other types of constraints. We could block this in the future in a more complete way.
