[SPARK-24800][SQL] Refactor Avro Serializer and Deserializer ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? Currently the Avro Deserializer converts input Avro format data to `Row`, and then convert the `Row` to `InternalRow`. While the Avro Serializer converts `InternalRow` to `Row`, and then output Avro format data. This PR allows direct conversion between `InternalRow` and Avro format data.
