Maxim Gekk 8e5f9995ca [SPARK-27008][SQL] Support java.time.LocalDate as an external type of DateType
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

In the PR, I propose to add new Catalyst type converter for `DateType`. It should be able to convert `java.time.LocalDate` to/from `DateType`.

Main motivations for the changes:
- Smoothly support Java 8 time API
- Avoid inconsistency of calendars used inside of Spark 3.0 (Proleptic Gregorian calendar) and `java.sql.Date` (hybrid calendar - Julian + Gregorian).
- Make conversion independent from current system timezone.

By default, Spark converts values of `DateType` to `java.sql.Date` instances but the SQL config `spark.sql.datetime.java8API.enabled` can change the behavior. If it is set to `true`, Spark uses `java.time.LocalDate` as external type for `DateType`.

## How was this patch tested?

Added new testes to `CatalystTypeConvertersSuite` to check conversion of `DateType` to/from `java.time.LocalDate`, `JavaUDFSuite`/ `UDFSuite` to test usage of `LocalDate` type in Scala/Java UDFs.

Closes #23913 from MaxGekk/date-localdate.
