[SPARK-17540][SparkR][Spark Core] fix SparkR array serde type problem when
length == 0
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
fix SparkR array serde type problem when length == 0
when length == 0 mark the data type as NULL,
and scala side will check case element type == NULL and generate
Array[Nothing] with length == 0
because in scala `Nothing` type is sub-type of any other types,
so that scala Array[Nothing] can be assigned to any variable with type
Array[_].
so that this problem can be solved ideally.
## How was this patch tested?
