Add an `explode` function for dataframes and modify the analyzer so that single table generating functions can be present in a select clause along with other expressions.   There are currently the following restrictions:
 - only top level TGFs are allowed (i.e. no `select(explode('list) + 1)`)
 - only one may be present in a single select to avoid potentially confusing implicit Cartesian products.

streaming/tests.py             185s -> 84s      -101s
```
Considering python3, the total saving will be 558s (almost 10 minutes) (core, and streaming run three times, mllib runs twice).

During testing, it will show used time for each test file:
```

The _eq_ of DataType is not correct, class cache is not use correctly (created class can not be find by dataType), then it will create lots of classes (saved in _cached_cls), never released.

Also, all same DataType have same hash code, there will be many object in a dict with the same hash code, end with hash attach, it's very slow to access this dict (depends on the implementation of CPython).

This PR also improve the performance of inferSchema (avoid the unnecessary converter of object).

1. DataFrame.renameColumn

2. DataFrame.show() and _repr_

3. Use simpleString() rather than jsonValue in DataFrame.dtypes

4. createDataFrame from local Python data, including pandas.DataFrame

Closes #4528 from davies/df3 and squashes the following commits:

014acea [Davies Liu] fix typo
6ba526e [Davies Liu] fix tests
46f5f95 [Davies Liu] address comments
6cbc154 [Davies Liu] dataframe.show() and improve dtypes
6f94f25 [Davies Liu] create DataFrame from local Python data

Deprecate inferSchema() and applySchema(), use createDataFrame() instead, which could take an optional `schema` to create an DataFrame from an RDD. The `schema` could be StructType or list of names of columns.
