------------------------------------------------------------------

I think a quick fix is to use general `get` method for just `StringType` in 
`InternalRow.getAccessor`. This can allow the backward-compatible behavior for 
`StringType` when calling `toArray`.

And we may consider to correct to `getUTF8String` by 3.0.

WDYT? [~mengxr], [~cloud_fan], [~hyukjin.kwon].
