[SPARK-5950][SQL] Enable inserting array into Hive table saved as Parquet
using DataSource API
Currently `ParquetConversions` in `HiveMetastoreCatalog` does not really
work. One reason is that table is not part of the children nodes of
`InsertIntoTable`. So the replacing is not working.
When we create a Parquet table in Hive with ARRAY field. In default
`ArrayType` has `containsNull` as true. It affects the table's schema. But when
inserting data into the table later, the schema of inserting data can be with
`containsNull` as true or false. That makes the inserting/reading failed.
A similar problem is reported in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5508.
Hive seems only support null elements array. So this pr enables same
behavior.
