[SPARK-23446][PYTHON] Explicitly check supported types in toPandas
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR explicitly specifies the types we supported in `toPandas`. This was
a hole. For example, we haven't finished the binary type support in Python side
yet but now it allows as below:
```python
spark.conf.set("spark.sql.execution.arrow.enabled", "false")
df = spark.createDataFrame([[bytearray("a")]])
df.toPandas()
spark.conf.set("spark.sql.execution.arrow.enabled", "true")
df.toPandas()
```
```
_1
0 [97]
_1
0 a
```
This should be disallowed. I think the same things also apply to nested
timestamps too.
I also added some nicer message about `spark.sql.execution.arrow.enabled`
in the error message.
## How was this patch tested?
Manually tested and tests added in `python/pyspark/sql/tests.py`.
