    [SPARK-3721] [PySpark] broadcast objects larger than 2G

    This patch will bring support for broadcasting objects larger than 2G.
    
    pickle, zlib, FrameSerializer and Array[Byte] all can not support objects 
larger than 2G, so this patch introduce LargeObjectSerializer to serialize 
broadcast objects, the object will be serialized and compressed into small 
chunks, it also change the type of Broadcast[Array[Byte]]] into 
Broadcast[Array[Array[Byte]]]].
    
    Testing for support broadcast objects larger than 2G is slow and memory 
hungry, so this is tested manually, could be added into SparkPerf.
