    Description

      Users now could register a UDF with Instant/LocalDate as return type even with 

      spark.sql.datetime.java8API.enabled=false. However, the UDF can only be really used with spark.sql.datetime.java8API.enabled=true. This could make users confused.

      The problem is we use ExpressionEncoder to ser/deser types when registering the UDF, but use Catalyst converters to ser/deser types, which is under control of  spark.sql.datetime.java8API.enabled,  when executing UDF.

      If we could also use ExpressionEncoder to ser/deser types, similar to what we do for input parameter types, the, UDF could support Instant/LocalDate, event other combined complex types as well.
