[SPARK-3481][SQL] Removes the evil MINOR HACK

This is a follow up of #2352. Now we can finally remove the evil "MINOR HACK", which covered up the eldest bug in the history of Spark SQL (see details [here](https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/2352#issuecomment-55440621)).

[SPARK-3294][SQL] Eliminates boxing costs from in-memory columnar storage

This is a major refactoring of the in-memory columnar storage implementation, aims to eliminate boxing costs from critical paths (building/accessing column buffers) as much as possible. The basic idea is to refactor all major interfaces into a row-based form and use them together with `SpecificMutableRow`. The difficult part is how to adapt all compression schemes, esp. `RunLengthEncoding` and `DictionaryEncoding`, to this design. Since in-memory compression is disabled by default for now, and this PR should be strictly better than before no matter in-memory compression is enabled or not, maybe I'll finish that part in another PR.

**UPDATE** This PR also took the chance to optimize `HiveTableScan` by

1. leveraging `SpecificMutableRow` to avoid boxing cost, and
1. building specific `Writable` unwrapper functions a head of time to avoid per row pattern matching and branching costs.

TODO

- [x] Benchmark
- [ ] ~~Eliminate boxing costs in `RunLengthEncoding`~~ (left to future PRs)
- [ ] ~~Eliminate boxing costs in `DictionaryEncoding` (seems not easy to do without specializing `DictionaryEncoding` for every supported column type)~~  (left to future PRs)

## Micro benchmark

The benchmark uses a 10 million line CSV table consists of bytes, shorts, integers, longs, floats and doubles, measures the time to build the in-memory version of this table, and the time to scan the whole in-memory table.

Benchmark code can be found [here](https://gist.github.com/liancheng/fe70a148de82e77bd2c8#file-hivetablescanbenchmark-scala). Script used to generate the input table can be found [here](https://gist.github.com/liancheng/fe70a148de82e77bd2c8#file-tablegen-scala).

Speedup:

- Hive table scanning + column buffer building: **18.74%**

  The original benchmark uses 1K as in-memory batch size, when increased to 10K, it can be 28.32% faster.

- In-memory table scanning: **7.95%**

[SPARK-3030] [PySpark] Reuse Python worker

Reuse Python worker to avoid the overhead of fork() Python process for each tasks. It also tracks the broadcasts for each worker, avoid sending repeated broadcasts.

This can reduce the time for dummy task from 22ms to 13ms (-40%). It can help to reduce the latency for Spark Streaming.

For a job with broadcast (43M after compress):
```
    b = sc.broadcast(set(range(30000000)))
    print sc.parallelize(range(24000), 100).filter(lambda x: x in b.value).count()
```
It will finish in 281s without reused worker, and it will finish in 65s with reused worker(4 CPUs). After reusing the worker, it can save about 9 seconds for transfer and deserialize the broadcast for each tasks.

It's enabled by default, could be disabled by `spark.python.worker.reuse = false`.
