    [SPARK-11914] [SQL] Support coalesce and repartition in Dataset APIs

    This PR is to provide two common `coalesce` and `repartition` in Dataset 
APIs. 
    
    After reading the comments of SPARK-9999, I am unclear about the plan for 
supporting re-partitioning in Dataset APIs. Currently, both RDD APIs and 
Dataframe APIs provide users such a flexibility to control the number of 
partitions. 
    
    In most traditional RDBMS, they expose the number of partitions, the 
partitioning columns, the table partitioning methods to DBAs for performance 
tuning and storage optimization. Normally, the changes could largely affect the 
query performance. Since the actual performance depends on the workload types, 
I do not think we can always find the best partitioning strategy for all the 
scenarios. 
    
    I am wondering if Dataset APIs are planning to hide these APIs from users? 
Feel free to reject my PR if it does not match your plan. 
    
    Thank you for your answers. @marmbrus @rxin @cloud-fan
