[SPARK-17263][SQL] Add hexadecimal literal parsing

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR adds the ability to parse SQL (hexadecimal) binary literals (AKA bit strings). It follows the following syntax `X'[Hexadecimal Characters]+'`, for example: `X'01AB'` would create a binary the following binary array `0x01AB`.

If an uneven number of hexadecimal characters is passed, then the upper 4 bits of the initial byte are kept empty, and the lower 4 bits are filled using the first character. For example `X'1C7'` would create the following binary array `0x01C7`.

Binary data (Array[Byte]) does not have a proper `hashCode` and `equals` functions. This meant that comparing `Literal`s containing binary data was a pain. I have updated Literal.hashCode and Literal.equals to deal properly with binary data.

## How was this patch tested?
Added tests to the `ExpressionParserSuite`, `SQLQueryTestSuite` and `ExpressionSQLBuilderSuite`.
