[SPARK-19644][SQL]Clean up Scala reflection garbage after creating Encoder
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Because of the memory leak issue in `scala.reflect.api.Types.TypeApi.<:<`
(https://github.com/scala/bug/issues/8302), creating an encoder may leak memory.
This PR adds `cleanUpReflectionObjects` to clean up these leaking objects
for methods calling `scala.reflect.api.Types.TypeApi.<:<`.

The updated unit tests.
