[SPARK-25208][SQL] Loosen Cast.forceNullable for DecimalType.
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Casting to `DecimalType` is not always needed to force nullable.
If the decimal type to cast is wider than original type, or only truncating
or precision loss, the casted value won't be `null`.
## How was this patch tested?
Added and modified tests.
