   SPARK-30252 has disabled the definition of the negative scale for decimals. 
It has a regression that also disabled reading negative scale decimals from 
data sources. **Although there is a legacy config to restore the old 
behavior**, it seemed neither designed for such a case, nor convenient in a 
data pipeline that extracts negative scale decimals from a database such as 
Oracle to Parquet files w/o negative scale decimal support.
   
   In addition, Postgres has the negative scale decimals support since v15, 
which was one of the supporters for disabling negative scale decimals on our 
side.
   
   In this PR, we change the schema from `decimal(p,s)` to `decimal(p-s,0)` if 
s<0.
   
   This PR also follows SPARK-45905 (#43781) to prefer to retain integral 
digits rather than decimal digits when reading decimals with exceeded precisions
   
   ### 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.

   ### 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'.

   Negative scale decimals have many supporters for rounding the internal 
parts, such as Oracle, Postgres, etc.
   - Oracle
   > Negative scale is the number of significant digits to the left of the 
decimal point, to but not including the least significant digit. For negative 
scale the least significant digit is on the left side of the decimal point, 
because the actual data is rounded to the specified number of places to the 
left of the decimal point. For example, a specification of (10,-2) means to 
round to hundreds.
   
   
   - Postgres
   > Beginning in PostgreSQL 15, it is allowed to declare a numeric column with 
a negative scale. Then values will be rounded to the left of the decimal point. 
The precision still represents the maximum number of non-rounded digits. Thus, 
a column declared as
   NUMERIC(2, -3)
   will round values to the nearest thousand and can store values between 
-99000 and 99000, inclusive. It is also allowed to declare a scale larger than 
the declared precision. Such a column can only hold fractional values, and it 
requires the number of zero digits just to the right of the decimal point to be 
at least the declared scale minus the declared precision. For example, a column 
declared as
   
   
   ### 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.
   If benchmark tests were added, please run the benchmarks in GitHub Actions 
for the consistent environment, and the instructions could accord to:
