[SPARK-11111] [SQL] fast null-safe join
Currently, we use CartesianProduct for join with null-safe-equal condition.
```
scala> sqlContext.sql("select * from t a join t b on (a.i <=> b.i)").explain
== Physical Plan ==
TungstenProject [i#2,j#3,i#7,j#8]
Filter (i#2 <=> i#7)
CartesianProduct
LocalTableScan [i#2,j#3], [[1,1]]
LocalTableScan [i#7,j#8], [[1,1]]
```
Actually, we can have an equal-join condition as `coalesce(i, default) =
coalesce(b.i, default)`, then an partitioned join algorithm could be used.
