[SPARK-13136][SQL] Create a dedicated Broadcast exchange operator

Quite a few Spark SQL join operators broadcast one side of the join to all nodes. The are a few problems with this:

- This conflates broadcasting (a data exchange) with joining. Data exchanges should be managed by a different operator.
- All these nodes implement their own (duplicate) broadcasting logic.
- Re-use of indices is quite hard.

This PR defines both a ```BroadcastDistribution``` and ```BroadcastPartitioning```, these contain a `BroadcastMode`. The `BroadcastMode` defines the way in which we transform the Array of `InternalRow`'s into an index. We currently support the following `BroadcastMode`'s:

- IdentityBroadcastMode: This broadcasts the rows in their original form.
- HashSetBroadcastMode: This applies a projection to the input rows, deduplicates these rows and broadcasts the resulting `Set`.
- HashedRelationBroadcastMode: This transforms the input rows into a `HashedRelation`, and broadcasts this index.

To match this distribution we implement a ```BroadcastExchange``` operator which will perform the broadcast for us, and have ```EnsureRequirements``` plan this operator. The old Exchange operator has been renamed into ShuffleExchange in order to clearly separate between Shuffled and Broadcasted exchanges. Finally the classes in Exchange.scala have been moved to a dedicated package.
