[SPARK-24691][SQL]Add new API `supportDataType` in FileFormat
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
In https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/21389, data source schema is
validated before actual read/write. However,
1. Putting all the validations together in `DataSourceUtils` is tricky and
hard to maintain. On second thought after review, I find that the
`OrcFileFormat` in hive package is not matched, so that its validation wrong.
2. `DataSourceUtils.verifyWriteSchema` and
`DataSourceUtils.verifyReadSchema` is not supposed to be called in every file
format. We can move them to some upper entry.
So, I propose we can add a new API `supportDataType` in FileFormat. Each
file format can override the method to specify its supported/non-supported data
types.
