[SPARK-25096][SQL] Loosen nullability if the cast is force-nullable.
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
In type coercion for complex types, if the found type is force-nullable to
cast, we should loosen the nullability to be able to cast. Also for map key
type, we can't use the type.
## How was this patch tested?
Added some test.
