[FLINK-9742][Table API & SQL] Widen scope of Expression.resultType to
'public'
## What is the purpose of the change
This patch proposes widen scope of Expression.resultType to 'public', to
enable custom TimestampExtractor outside of Flink acessing
Expression.resultType.
There is some use cases of TableSource which requires custom implementation
of TimestampExtractor, and to ensure new TimestampExtractor to cover more
general use cases, accessing Expression.resultType is necessary, but its scope
is now defined as package private for "org.apache.flink". It would be better to
just make Expression.resultType public to cover other cases as well.
Please refer https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9742 for more
details.
