DataFrame.withColumn in Python should be consistent with the Scala one (replacing the existing column  that has the same name).

Author: Davies Liu <davies@databricks.com>

Closes #8300 from davies/with_column.

This bug is caused by a wrong column-exist-check in `__getitem__` of pyspark dataframe. `DataFrame.apply` accepts not only top level column names, but also nested column name like `a.b`, so we should remove that check from `__getitem__`.

Closes #8016 from btashton/patch-1.

All data sources show up as "PhysicalRDD" in physical plan explain. It'd be better if we can show the name of the data source.

Without this patch:
```
== Physical Plan ==
NewAggregate with UnsafeHybridAggregationIterator ArrayBuffer(date#0, cat#1) ArrayBuffer((sum(CAST((CAST(count#2, IntegerType) + 1), LongType))2,mode=Final,isDistinct=false))
 Exchange hashpartitioning(date#0,cat#1)
  NewAggregate with UnsafeHybridAggregationIterator ArrayBuffer(date#0, cat#1) ArrayBuffer((sum(CAST((CAST(count#2, IntegerType) + 1), LongType))2,mode=Partial,isDistinct=false))
   PhysicalRDD [date#0,cat#1,count#2], MapPartitionsRDD[3] at
```

With this patch:
```
== Physical Plan ==
TungstenAggregate(key=[date#0,cat#1], value=[(sum(CAST((CAST(count#2, IntegerType) + 1), LongType)),mode=Final,isDistinct=false)]
 Exchange hashpartitioning(date#0,cat#1)
  TungstenAggregate(key=[date#0,cat#1], value=[(sum(CAST((CAST(count#2, IntegerType) + 1), LongType)),mode=Partial,isDistinct=false)]

Our current BinaryExpression abstract class is not for generic binary expressions, i.e. it requires left/right children to have the same type. However, due to its name, contributors build new binary expressions that don't have that assumption (e.g. Sha) and still extend BinaryExpression.

This patch creates a new BinaryOperator abstract class, and update the analyzer o only apply type casting rule there. This patch also adds the notion of "prettyName" to expressions, which defines the user-facing name for the expression.

Sometimes the user may want to show the complete content of cells. Now `sql("set -v").show()` displays:

The user needs to use something like `sql("set -v").collect().foreach(r => r.toSeq.mkString("\t"))` to show the complete content.

This PR adds a `pretty` parameter to show. If `pretty` is false, `show` won't truncate strings or align cells right.
