[SPARK-7321][SQL] Add Column expression for conditional statements (when/otherwise)

This builds on https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/5932 and should close https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/5932 as well.

As an example:
```python
df.select(when(df['age'] == 2, 3).otherwise(4).alias("age")).collect()
```
