[SPARK-9381] [SQL] Migrate JSON data source to the new partitioning data source

Support partitioning for the JSON data source.

Still 2 open issues for the `HadoopFsRelation`
- `refresh()` will invoke the `discoveryPartition()`, which will auto infer the data type for the partition columns, and maybe conflict with the given partition columns. (TODO enable `HadoopFsRelationSuite.Partition column type casting"
- When insert data into a cached HadoopFsRelation based table, we need to invalidate the cache after the insertion (TODO enable `InsertSuite.Caching`)

Author: Cheng Hao <hao.cheng@intel.com>

Closes #7696 from chenghao-intel/json and squashes the following commits:

d90b104 [Cheng Hao] revert the change for JacksonGenerator.apply
307111d [Cheng Hao] fix bug in the unit test
8738c8a [Cheng Hao] fix bug in unit testing
35f2cde [Cheng Hao] support partition for json format
