## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Currently, we set lintr to jimhester/lintra769c0b (see [this](7d1175011c) and [SPARK-14074](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-14074)).
I first tested and checked lintr-1.0.1 but it looks many important fixes are missing (for example, checking 100 length). So, I instead tried the latest commit, 5431140ffe, in my local and fixed the check failures.
It looks it has fixed many bugs and now finds many instances that I have observed and thought should be caught time to time, here I filed [the results](https://gist.github.com/HyukjinKwon/4f59ddcc7b6487a02da81800baca533c).
The downside looks it now takes about 7ish mins, (it was 2ish mins before) in my local.
## How was this patch tested?
Manually, `./dev/lint-r` after manually updating the lintr package.

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Currently, multi-dot separated variables in R is not allowed. For example,
```diff
setMethod("from_json", signature(x = "Column", schema = "structType"),
- function(x, schema, asJsonArray = FALSE, ...) {
+ function(x, schema, as.json.array = FALSE, ...) {
if (asJsonArray) {
jschema <- callJStatic("org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataTypes",
"createArrayType",
```
produces an error as below:
```
R/functions.R:2462:31: style: Words within variable and function names should be separated by '_' rather than '.'.
function(x, schema, as.json.array = FALSE, ...) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
```
This seems against https://google.github.io/styleguide/Rguide.xml#identifiers which says
> The preferred form for variable names is all lower case letters and words separated with dots
This looks because lintr by default https://github.com/jimhester/lintr follows http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/style.html as written in the README.md. Few cases seems not following Google's one as "a few tweaks".
Per [SPARK-6813](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6813), we follow Google's R Style Guide with few exceptions https://google.github.io/styleguide/Rguide.xml. This is also merged into Spark's website - https://github.com/apache/spark-website/pull/43
Also, it looks we have no limit on function name. This rule also looks affecting to the name of functions as written in the README.md.

## How was this patch tested?
Manually tested `./dev/lint-r`with the manual change below in `R/functions.R`:
```diff
setMethod("from_json", signature(x = "Column", schema = "structType"),
- function(x, schema, asJsonArray = FALSE, ...) {
+ function(x, schema, as.json.array = FALSE, ...) {
if (asJsonArray) {
jschema <- callJStatic("org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataTypes",
"createArrayType",
```
**Before**
```R
R/functions.R:2462:31: style: Words within variable and function names should be separated by '_' rather than '.'.
function(x, schema, as.json.array = FALSE, ...) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
```
**After**
```
lintr checks passed.
```
