hyukjinkwon d1f6c64c4b [SPARK-19828][R] Support array type in from_json in R
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Since we could not directly define the array type in R, this PR proposes to support array types in R as string types that are used in `structField` as below:

```R
jsonArr <- "[{\"name\":\"Bob\"}, {\"name\":\"Alice\"}]"
df <- as.DataFrame(list(list("people" = jsonArr)))
collect(select(df, alias(from_json(df$people, "array<struct<name:string>>"), "arrcol")))
```

prints

```R
      arrcol
1 Bob, Alice
```

## How was this patch tested?

Unit tests in `test_sparkSQL.R`.

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.
