[SPARK-22228][SQL] Add support for array<primitive_type> to from_json
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
The fix introduces support for parsing array of primitive types in the
`from_json` function. Currently, it supports only array of struct, which is
equivalent to array of JSON objects, but it doesn't allow to parse array of
simple types, like array of strings (eg. `["this is a valid JSON", "we cannot
parse before the PR"]`).
## How was this patch tested?
Added UTs.
