[SPARK-19178][SQL] convert string of large numbers to int should return null

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

When we convert a string to integral, we will convert that string to `decimal(20, 0)` first, so that we can turn a string with decimal format to truncated integral, e.g. `CAST('1.2' AS int)` will return `1`.

However, this brings problems when we convert a string with large numbers to integral, e.g. `CAST('1234567890123' AS int)` will return `1912276171`, while Hive returns null as we expected.

This is a long standing bug(seems it was there the first day Spark SQL was created), this PR fixes this bug by adding the native support to convert `UTF8String` to integral.

## How was this patch tested?

new regression tests
