[SPARK-18853][SQL] Project (UnaryNode) is way too aggressive in estimating
statistics
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This patch reduces the default number element estimation for arrays and
maps from 100 to 1. The issue with the 100 number is that when nested (e.g. an
array of map), 100 * 100 would be used as the default size. This sounds like
just an overestimation which doesn't seem that bad (since it is usually better
to overestimate than underestimate). However, due to the way we assume the size
output for Project (new estimated column size / old estimated column size),
this overestimation can become underestimation. It is actually in general in
this case safer to assume 1 default element.
## How was this patch tested?
This should be covered by existing tests.
