anabranch 7a7ce272fe [SPARK-16609] Add to_date/to_timestamp with format functions
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

This pull request adds two new user facing functions:
- `to_date` which accepts an expression and a format and returns a date.
- `to_timestamp` which accepts an expression and a format and returns a timestamp.

For example, Given a date in format: `2016-21-05`. (YYYY-dd-MM)

### Date Function
*Previously*
```
to_date(unix_timestamp(lit("2016-21-05"), "yyyy-dd-MM").cast("timestamp"))
```
*Current*
```
to_date(lit("2016-21-05"), "yyyy-dd-MM")
```

### Timestamp Function
*Previously*
```
unix_timestamp(lit("2016-21-05"), "yyyy-dd-MM").cast("timestamp")
```
*Current*
```
to_timestamp(lit("2016-21-05"), "yyyy-dd-MM")
```
### Tasks
