[SPARK-19933][SQL] Do not change output of a subquery
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
The `RemoveRedundantAlias` rule can change the output attributes (the
expression id's to be precise) of a query by eliminating the redundant alias
producing them. This is no problem for a regular query, but can cause problems
for correlated subqueries: The attributes produced by the subquery are used in
the parent plan; changing them will break the parent plan.
This PR fixes this by wrapping a subquery in a `ReturnAnswer` top level
node when it gets optimized. The `RemoveRedundantAlias` rule now recognizes
`ReturnAnswer` and makes aure that the output attributes of the `ReturnAnswer`
node are retained.
## How was this patch tested?
Added a test case to `RemoveRedundantAliasAndProjectSuite` and added a
regression test to `SubquerySuite`.
