This PR introduces several major changes:
1. Replacing `Expression.prettyString` with `Expression.sql`
The `prettyString` method is mostly an internal, developer faced facility for debugging purposes, and shouldn't be exposed to users.
1. Using SQL-like representation as column names for selected fields that are not named expression (back-ticks and double quotes should be removed)
Before, we were using `prettyString` as column names when possible, and sometimes the result column names can be weird. Here are several examples:
Expression | `prettyString` | `sql` | Note
------------------ | -------------- | ---------- | ---------------
`a && b` | `a && b` | `a AND b` |
`a.getField("f")` | `a[f]` | `a.f` | `a` is a struct
1. Adding trait `NonSQLExpression` extending from `Expression` for expressions that don't have a SQL representation (e.g. Scala UDF/UDAF and Java/Scala object expressions used for encoders)
`NonSQLExpression.sql` may return an arbitrary user facing string representation of the expression.
