[SPARK-7321][SQL] Add Column expression for conditional statements (w…

…hen/otherwise) This builds on apache#5932 and should close apache#5932 as well. As an example: ```python df.select(when(df['age'] == 2, 3).otherwise(4).alias("age")).collect() ``` Author: Reynold Xin <[email protected]> Author: kaka1992 <[email protected]> Closes apache#6072 from rxin/when-expr and squashes the following commits: 8f49201 [Reynold Xin] Throw exception if otherwise is applied twice. 0455eda [Reynold Xin] Reset run-tests. bfb9d9f [Reynold Xin] Updated documentation and test cases. 762f6a5 [Reynold Xin] Merge pull request apache#5932 from kaka1992/IFCASE 95724c6 [kaka1992] Update 8218d0a [kaka1992] Update 801009e [kaka1992] Update 76d6346 [kaka1992] [SPARK-7321][SQL] Add Column expression for conditional statements (if, case)
