[SPARK-16714][SQL] map, struct function should accept decimals with different precision/scale ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? This patch changes the type coercion rule for map and struct functions so they can accept decimals of different precision/scale. This is not a regression from Spark 1.x, but it is a much bigger problem in Spark 2.0 because floating point literals are parsed as decimals. ## How was this patch tested? Created a new end-to-end test suite SQLTypeCoercionSuite. In the future we can move all other type checking tests here. I first tried adding a test in SQLQuerySuite but the suite was clearly already too large.
