   ### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
   <!--
   Please clarify what changes you are proposing. The purpose of this section 
is to outline the changes and how this PR fixes the issue. 
   If possible, please consider writing useful notes for better and faster 
reviews in your PR. See the examples below.
     1. If you refactor some codes with changing classes, showing the class 
hierarchy will help reviewers.
     2. If you fix some SQL features, you can provide some references of other 
DBMSes.
     3. If there is design documentation, please add the link.

   Currently, in cases like the following:
   ```sql
   SELECT * FROM t WHERE age < 40
   ```
   where `age` is of short type, Spark won't be able to simplify this and can 
only generate filter `cast(age, int) < 40`. This won't get pushed down to 
datasources and therefore is not optimized.
   
   This PR proposes a optimizer rule to improve this when the following 
constraints are satisfied:
    - input expression is binary comparisons when one side is a cast operation 
and another is a literal. 
    - both the cast child expression and literal are of integral type (i.e., 
byte, short, int or long)
   
   When this is true, it tries to do several optimizations to either simplify 
the expression or move the cast to the literal side, so
   result filter for the above case becomes `age < cast(40 as smallint)`. This 
is better since the cast can be optimized away later and the filter can be 
pushed down to data sources.
   
   The approach this PR uses references a similar effort in Presto 
(https://prestosql.io/blog/2019/05/21/optimizing-the-casts-away.html). Here we 
only handles integral types but plan to extend to other types as follow-ups.
   
   ### Why are the changes needed?
   <!--
   Please clarify why the changes are needed. For instance,
     1. If you propose a new API, clarify the use case for a new API.
     2. If you fix a bug, you can clarify why it is a bug.
   -->
   
   As mentioned in the previous section, when cast is not optimized, it cannot 
be pushed down to data sources which can lead
   to unnecessary IO and therefore longer job time and waste of resources. This 
helps to improve that.
   
   ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
   <!--
   Note that it means *any* user-facing change including all aspects such as 
the documentation fix.
   If yes, please clarify the previous behavior and the change this PR proposes 
- provide the console output, description and/or an example to show the 
behavior difference if possible.
   If possible, please also clarify if this is a user-facing change compared to 
the released Spark versions or within the unreleased branches such as master.
   If no, write 'No'.
   -->
   
   No. 
   
   ### How was this patch tested?
   <!--
   If tests were added, say they were added here. Please make sure to add some 
test cases that check the changes thoroughly including negative and positive 
cases if possible.
   If it was tested in a way different from regular unit tests, please clarify 
how you tested step by step, ideally copy and paste-able, so that other 
reviewers can test and check, and descendants can verify in the future.
   If tests were not added, please describe why they were not added and/or why 
it was difficult to add.

   Added unit tests for both the optimizer rule and filter pushdown on 
datasource level for both Orc and Parquet.
