## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Value classes were unsupported because catalyst data types were
obtained through reflection on erased types, which would resolve to a
value class' wrapped type and hence lead to unavailable methods during
code generation.

E.g. the following class
```scala
case class Foo(x: Int) extends AnyVal
```
would be seen as an `int` in catalyst and will cause instance cast failures when generated java code tries to treat it as a `Foo`.

This patch simply removes the erasure step when getting data types for
catalyst.

## How was this patch tested?
Additional tests in `ExpressionEncoderSuite`.

Spark SQL

This module provides support for executing relational queries expressed in either SQL or the DataFrame/Dataset API.

Spark SQL is broken up into four subprojects:

  • Catalyst (sql/catalyst) - An implementation-agnostic framework for manipulating trees of relational operators and expressions.
  • Execution (sql/core) - A query planner / execution engine for translating Catalyst's logical query plans into Spark RDDs. This component also includes a new public interface, SQLContext, that allows users to execute SQL or LINQ statements against existing RDDs and Parquet files.
  • Hive Support (sql/hive) - Includes an extension of SQLContext called HiveContext that allows users to write queries using a subset of HiveQL and access data from a Hive Metastore using Hive SerDes. There are also wrappers that allows users to run queries that include Hive UDFs, UDAFs, and UDTFs.
  • HiveServer and CLI support (sql/hive-thriftserver) - Includes support for the SQL CLI (bin/spark-sql) and a HiveServer2 (for JDBC/ODBC) compatible server.
