In `DataSourceStrategy.createPhysicalRDD`, we use the relation schema as the target schema for converting incoming rows into Catalyst rows. However, we should be using the output schema instead, since our scan might return a subset of the relation's columns.
This patch incorporates #6414 by liancheng, which fixes an issue in `SimpleTestRelation` that prevented this bug from being caught by our old tests:
> In `SimpleTextRelation`, we specified `needsConversion` to `true`, indicating that values produced by this testing relation should be of Scala types, and need to be converted to Catalyst types when necessary. However, we also used `Cast` to convert strings to expected data types. And `Cast` always produces values of Catalyst types, thus no conversion is done at all. This PR makes `SimpleTextRelation` produce Scala values so that data conversion code paths can be properly tested.
Closes#5986.
