HyukjinKwon 1217996f15 [SPARK-27995][PYTHON] Note the difference between str of Python 2 and 3 at Arrow optimized
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

When Arrow optimization is enabled in Python 2.7,

```python
import pandas
pdf = pandas.DataFrame(["test1", "test2"])
df = spark.createDataFrame(pdf)
df.show()
```

I got the following output:

```
+----------------+
|               0|
+----------------+
|[74 65 73 74 31]|
|[74 65 73 74 32]|
+----------------+
```

This looks because Python's `str` and `byte` are same. it does look right:

```python
>>> str == bytes
True
>>> isinstance("a", bytes)
True
```

To cut it short:

1. Python 2 treats `str` as `bytes`.
2. PySpark added some special codes and hacks to recognizes `str` as string types.
3. PyArrow / Pandas followed Python 2 difference

To fix, we have two options:

1. Fix it to match the behaviour to PySpark's
2. Note the differences

 but Python 2 is deprecated anyway. I think it's better to just note it and for go option 2.

## How was this patch tested?

Manually tested.

Doc was checked too:
