   ## Which issue does this PR close?
   
   N/A
   
   ## Rationale for this change
   
   The fact that most of the DataFusion codebase uses `fn data_type()` to 
retrieve the datatype but `ScalarValue` uses `get_datatype` is frustrating to 
me. It is a very small rough edge, but one that is easy to fix
   
   ## What changes are included in this PR?
   1. Add `ScalarValue::data_type()`
   2. Add docs to `ScalarValue::get_datatype`
   
   Note I did not actually `#deprecate` get_datatype as I thought that would be 
too large a change. I can do so if people would like however.

   We typically require tests for all PRs in order to:
   1. Prevent the code from being accidentally broken by subsequent changes
   4. Serve as another way to document the expected behavior of the code
   
   If tests are not included in your PR, please explain why (for example, are 
they covered by existing tests)?

   If there are user-facing changes then we may require documentation to be 
updated before approving the PR.
