[SPARK-21041][SQL] SparkSession.range should be consistent with SparkContext.range

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

This PR fixes the inconsistency in `SparkSession.range`.

**BEFORE**
```scala
scala> spark.range(java.lang.Long.MAX_VALUE - 3, java.lang.Long.MIN_VALUE + 2, 1).collect
res2: Array[Long] = Array(9223372036854775804, 9223372036854775805, 9223372036854775806)
```

**AFTER**
```scala
scala> spark.range(java.lang.Long.MAX_VALUE - 3, java.lang.Long.MIN_VALUE + 2, 1).collect
res2: Array[Long] = Array()
```

## How was this patch tested?

Pass the Jenkins with newly added test cases.
