hyukjinkwon 60472dbfd9 [SPARK-21485][SQL][DOCS] Spark SQL documentation generation for built-in functions
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

This generates a documentation for Spark SQL built-in functions.

One drawback is, this requires a proper build to generate built-in function list.
Once it is built, it only takes few seconds by `sql/create-docs.sh`.

Please see https://spark-test.github.io/sparksqldoc/ that I hosted to show the output documentation.

There are few more works to be done in order to make the documentation pretty, for example, separating `Arguments:` and `Examples:` but I guess this should be done within `ExpressionDescription` and `ExpressionInfo` rather than manually parsing it. I will fix these in a follow up.

This requires `pip install mkdocs` to generate HTMLs from markdown files.

## How was this patch tested?

Manually tested:

```
cd docs
jekyll build
```
,

```
cd docs
jekyll serve
```

and

```
cd sql
create-docs.sh
```

Spark SQL
=========
This module provides support for executing relational queries expressed in either SQL or the DataFrame/Dataset API.
Spark SQL is broken up into four subprojects:
- Catalyst (sql/catalyst) - An implementation-agnostic framework for manipulating trees of relational operators and expressions.
- Execution (sql/core) - A query planner / execution engine for translating Catalyst's logical query plans into Spark RDDs. This component also includes a new public interface, SQLContext, that allows users to execute SQL or LINQ statements against existing RDDs and Parquet files.
- Hive Support (sql/hive) - Includes an extension of SQLContext called HiveContext that allows users to write queries using a subset of HiveQL and access data from a Hive Metastore using Hive SerDes. There are also wrappers that allows users to run queries that include Hive UDFs, UDAFs, and UDTFs.
- HiveServer and CLI support (sql/hive-thriftserver) - Includes support for the SQL CLI (bin/spark-sql) and a HiveServer2 (for JDBC/ODBC) compatible server.
Running `sql/create-docs.sh` generates SQL documentation for built-in functions under `sql/site`.
