## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR proposes to add `to_json` function in contrast with `from_json` in Scala, Java and Python.
It'd be useful if we can convert a same column from/to json. Also, some datasources do not support nested types. If we are forced to save a dataframe into those data sources, we might be able to work around by this function.
The usage is as below:
``` scala
val df = Seq(Tuple1(Tuple1(1))).toDF("a")
df.select(to_json($"a").as("json")).show()
```
``` bash
+--------+
| json|
+--------+
|{"_1":1}|
+--------+
```
## How was this patch tested?
Unit tests in `JsonFunctionsSuite` and `JsonExpressionsSuite`.
