[spark-sql] a better exception message than "scala.MatchError" for unsupported types in Schema creation

Currently if trying to register an RDD (or DataFrame in 1.3) as a table that has types that have no supported Schema representation (e.g. type "Any") - it would throw a match error. e.g. scala.MatchError: Any (of class scala.reflect.internal.Types$ClassNoArgsTypeRef)

This fix is just to have a nicer error message than a MatchError
