[SPARK-21110][SQL] Structs, arrays, and other orderable datatypes should be
usable in inequalities
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Allows `BinaryComparison` operators to work on any data type that actually
supports ordering as verified by `TypeUtils.checkForOrderingExpr` instead of
relying on the incomplete list `TypeCollection.Ordered` (which is removed by
this PR).
## How was this patch tested?
Updated unit tests to cover structs and arrays.
