This patch switches to using FunctionRegistry for built-in expressions. It is based on #6463, but with some work to simplify it along with unit tests.
TODOs for future pull requests:
- Use static registration so we don't need to register all functions every time we start a new SQLContext
- Switch to using this in HiveContext
