[SPARK-23772][SQL][WIP] Provide an option to ignore column of all null
values or empty array during JSON schema inference
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This pr added a SQL option
`spark.sql.streaming.schemaInference.ignoreNullFields` to ignore column of all
null values or empty array during JSON schema inference. When non-null values
appear in subsequent batches, its type is resolved by using the values.
## How was this patch tested?
Added tests in `FileStreamSourceSuite`.
