[SPARK-5281] [SQL] Registering table on RDD is giving MissingRequirem…

…entError

Go through the context classloader when reflecting on user types in ScalaReflection.

Replaced calls to `typeOf` with `typeTag[T].in(mirror)`. The convenience method assumes
all types can be found in the classloader that loaded scala-reflect (the primordial
classloader). This assumption is not valid in all contexts (sbt console, Eclipse launchers).

Fixed SPARK-5281

Author: Iulian Dragos <[email protected]>

Closes #5981 from dragos/issue/mirrors-missing-requirement-error and squashes the following commits:
