make udf structs public

[universalmind303]

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?

Datafusion 36 changed a lot of the builtinfunction stuff, mainly to make it more modular for which functions you want to register, while this is great, it does impose some limitations on end users.

For example in GlareDB, we build out a catalog entry for each of the datafusion functions. (a trait that provides some additional functionality on top of what's provided by datafusion).

trait CatalogEntry {
    const NAME: &'static str;
    const DESCRIPTION: &'static str;
    const EXAMPLE: &'static str;
    const FUNCTION_TYPE: FunctionType = FunctionType::Scalar;
}

Currently (datafusion 35) we just create a new struct similar to what is already done in the datafusion/functions crate, but to reduce duplicated code, we'd like to just implement it directly on the structs

impl CatalogEntry for ArrayToString {
// ...
}

Describe the solution you'd like

all function structs in datafusion/functions and datafusion/functions-array are public.

Describe alternatives you've considered

@alamb, considering the low effort involved in implementing, would it be possible to include this in 37?

I think this is unlikely to make 37.0.0 as we are already on RC2 -- Let's dicsuss that request on #9682

However, I would be open to creating a 37.1.0 release with this change and potentially other non breaking API changes.

Update: I filed #9904 to track the idea
