By overriding `executeCollect()` in physical plan classes of all commands, we can avoid to kick off a distributed job when collecting result of a SQL command, e.g. `sql("SET").collect()`.
Previously, `Command.sideEffectResult` returns a `Seq[Any]`, and the `execute()` method in sub-classes of `Command` typically convert that to a `Seq[Row]` then parallelize it to an RDD. Now with this PR, `sideEffectResult` is required to return a `Seq[Row]` directly, so that `executeCollect()` can directly leverage that and be factored to the `Command` parent class.
