## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Currently we return RuntimeConfig itself to facilitate chaining. However, it makes the output in interactive environments (e.g. notebooks, scala repl) weird because it'd show the response of calling set as a RuntimeConfig itself.
## How was this patch tested?
Updated unit tests.

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
1. Remove all the `spark.setConf` etc. Just expose `spark.conf`
2. Make `spark.conf` take in things set in the core `SparkConf` as well, otherwise users may get confused
This was done for both the Python and Scala APIs.
## How was this patch tested?
`SQLConfSuite`, python tests.

**Note**: This API is NOT complete in its current state. In particular, for now I left out the `conf` and `catalog` APIs, which were added later in Scala. These will be added later before 2.0.
