goldmedal a28728a9af [SPARK-21513][SQL][FOLLOWUP] Allow UDF to_json support converting MapType to json for PySpark and SparkR
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
In previous work SPARK-21513, we has allowed `MapType` and `ArrayType` of `MapType`s convert to a json string but only for Scala API. In this follow-up PR, we will make SparkSQL support it for PySpark and SparkR, too. We also fix some little bugs and comments of the previous work in this follow-up PR.

### For PySpark
```
>>> data = [(1, {"name": "Alice"})]
>>> df = spark.createDataFrame(data, ("key", "value"))
>>> df.select(to_json(df.value).alias("json")).collect()
[Row(json=u'{"name":"Alice")']
>>> data = [(1, [{"name": "Alice"}, {"name": "Bob"}])]
>>> df = spark.createDataFrame(data, ("key", "value"))
>>> df.select(to_json(df.value).alias("json")).collect()
[Row(json=u'[{"name":"Alice"},{"name":"Bob"}]')]
```
### For SparkR
```
# Converts a map into a JSON object
df2 <- sql("SELECT map('name', 'Bob')) as people")
df2 <- mutate(df2, people_json = to_json(df2$people))
# Converts an array of maps into a JSON array
df2 <- sql("SELECT array(map('name', 'Bob'), map('name', 'Alice')) as people")
df2 <- mutate(df2, people_json = to_json(df2$people))
```
## How was this patch tested?
Add unit test cases.
