Liang-Chi Hsieh ee1304199b [SPARK-21567][SQL] Dataset should work with type alias
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

If we create a type alias for a type workable with Dataset, the type alias doesn't work with Dataset.

A reproducible case looks like:

    object C {
      type TwoInt = (Int, Int)
      def tupleTypeAlias: TwoInt = (1, 1)
    }

    Seq(1).toDS().map(_ => ("", C.tupleTypeAlias))

It throws an exception like:

    type T1 is not a class
    scala.ScalaReflectionException: type T1 is not a class
      at scala.reflect.api.Symbols$SymbolApi$class.asClass(Symbols.scala:275)
      ...

This patch accesses the dealias of type in many places in `ScalaReflection` to fix it.

## How was this patch tested?

Added test case.
