[SPARK-22894][SQL] DateTimeOperations should accept SQL like string type
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
`DateTimeOperations` accept
[`StringType`](https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/ae998ec2b5548b7028d741da4813473dde1ad81e/sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/analysis/TypeCoercion.scala#L669),
but:
```
spark-sql> SELECT '2017-12-24' + interval 2 months 2 seconds;
Error in query: cannot resolve '(CAST('2017-12-24' AS DOUBLE) + interval 2
months 2 seconds)' due to data type mismatch: differing types in
'(CAST('2017-12-24' AS DOUBLE) + interval 2 months 2 seconds)' (double and
calendarinterval).; line 1 pos 7;
'Project [unresolvedalias((cast(2017-12-24 as double) + interval 2 months 2
seconds), None)]
+- OneRowRelation
spark-sql>
```
After this PR:
```
spark-sql> SELECT '2017-12-24' + interval 2 months 2 seconds;
