[SPARK-12579][SQL] Force user-specified JDBC driver to take precedence

Spark SQL's JDBC data source allows users to specify an explicit JDBC driver to load (using the `driver` argument), but in the current code it's possible that the user-specified driver will not be used when it comes time to actually create a JDBC connection.

In a nutshell, the problem is that you might have multiple JDBC drivers on the classpath that claim to be able to handle the same subprotocol, so simply registering the user-provided driver class with the our `DriverRegistry` and JDBC's `DriverManager` is not sufficient to ensure that it's actually used when creating the JDBC connection.

This patch addresses this issue by first registering the user-specified driver with the DriverManager, then iterating over the driver manager's loaded drivers in order to obtain the correct driver and use it to create a connection (previously, we just called `DriverManager.getConnection()` directly).

If a user did not specify a JDBC driver to use, then we call `DriverManager.getDriver` to figure out the class of the driver to use, then pass that class's name to executors; this guards against corner-case bugs in situations where the driver and executor JVMs might have different sets of JDBC drivers on their classpaths (previously, there was the (rare) potential for `DriverManager.getConnection()` to use different drivers on the driver and executors if the user had not explicitly specified a JDBC driver class and the classpaths were different).

This patch is inspired by a similar patch that I made to the `spark-redshift` library (databricks/spark-redshift#143), which contains its own modified fork of some of Spark's JDBC data source code (for cross-Spark-version compatibility reasons).
