[SPARK-9929][SQL] support metadata in withColumn in MLlib sometimes we need to set metadata for the new column, thus we will alias the new column with metadata before call `withColumn` and in `withColumn` we alias this clolumn again. Here I overloaded `withColumn` to allow user set metadata, just like what we did for `Column.as`.
