[SPARK-19085][SQL] cleanup OutputWriterFactory and OutputWriter ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? `OutputWriterFactory`/`OutputWriter` are internal interfaces and we can remove some unnecessary APIs: 1. `OutputWriterFactory.newWriter(path: String)`: no one calls it and no one implements it. 2. `OutputWriter.write(row: Row): Unit`: during execution we only call `writeInternal`, which is weird as `OutputWriter` is already an internal interface. We should rename `writeInternal` to `write` and remove `def write(row: Row): Unit` and it's related converter code. All implementations should just implement `def write(row: InternalRow): Unit` ## How was this patch tested? existing tests.
