[SPARK-17770] [CATALYST] making ObjectType public
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
In order to facilitate the writing of additional Encoders, I proposed
opening up the ObjectType SQL DataType. This DataType is used extensively in
the JavaBean Encoder, but would also be useful in writing other custom
encoders.
As mentioned by @marmbrus, it is understood that the Expressions API is
subject to potential change.
## How was this patch tested?
The change only affects the visibility of the ObjectType class, and the
existing SQL test suite still runs without error.
