[KYUUBI #3217] [DOCS] Doc for using Marcos in row-level filter in Authz

### _Why are the changes needed?_

Support macros in Row-filter condition expression, introduced in Ranger 2.3 ([release notes](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/RANGER/Apache+Ranger+2.3.0+-+Release+Notes)), is an major feature to significantly simplify the row-filter condition expression in practice by replacing explicit condition query by using user/group's attributes.

- [RANGER-3605](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-3605) : Support macros in row-filter/condition expressions
- [RANGER-3550](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-3550) : support for using user/tag attributes in row-filter expressions and conditions
Consider user liangtiancheng with attribute born_city = guangzhou, we can define the row filter condition with city='${{USER.born_city}}' with the macro feature.

However, This feature implicit relies on an config named `ranger.plugin.spark.enable.implicit.userstore.enricher` and the default value false will prevent RangerUserStoreEnricher fetching user/group and their attributes. Macros in row-filter condition will fallback to null value (as lack of user attributes value in UserStore of auth context) in script transformation unexpectedly and imperceptibly.

Improving doc of ranger-spark-security.xml to aware of this feature and related config.

### _How was this patch tested?_
- [ ] Add some test cases that check the changes thoroughly including negative and positive cases if possible

- [ ] Add screenshots for manual tests if appropriate

- [x] [Run test](https://kyuubi.apache.org/docs/latest/develop_tools/testing.html#running-tests) locally before make a pull request

##### Using Macros in Row Level Filters
Macros are now supported for using user/group/tag in row filter expressions, introduced in [Ranger 2.3](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/RANGER/Apache+Ranger+2.3.0+-+Release+Notes). This feature helps significantly simplify row filter expressions by using user/group/tag's attributes instead of explicit conditions. Considering a user with an attribute `born_city` of value `Guangzhou `, the row filter condition as `city='${{USER.born_city}}'` will be transformed to `city='Guangzhou'` in execution plan. More supported macros and usage refer to [RANGER-3605](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-3605) and [RANGER-3550](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-3550). Add the following configs to `ranger-spark-security.xml` to enable UserStore Enricher required by macros.
```xml
<property>
<name>ranger.plugin.spark.enable.implicit.userstore.enricher</name>
<value>true</value>
<description>Enable UserStoreEnricher for fetching user and group attributes if using macros or scripts in row-filters since Ranger 2.3</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>ranger.plugin.hive.policy.cache.dir</name>
<value>./a ranger hive service name/policycache</value>
<description>As Authz plugin reuses hive service def, a policy cache path is required for caching UserStore and Tags for "hive" service def, while "ranger.plugin.spark.policy.cache.dir config" is the path for caching policies in service. </description>
</property>
