[Epic] Port BuiltInFunctons to `datafusion-functions-*` crates

[alamb]

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?

As part of making DataFusion even more customizable (#8045), it is valuable to let system designers mix and match different packages of functions to get the precise behavior they want (e.g. postgres style to_date or spark style to_date).

To support this functionality as well as to ensure the ScalarUDF API exposes the full power of DataFusion, we are in the process of extracting the "built in" functions out of the core and into separate crates.

This epic tracks the work to actually move the functions out of the core datafusion crate (spread through datafusion_expr and datafusion-physical-expr and into the new datafusion-functions / datafusion-functions-array crates

Tasks:

Here is list of many of the items necessary to complete this transition. Eventually there should be tickets for all tasks, and there are tickets for some already, but I don't want to make 100s of tickets all at once. I plan to make more as we make it through more of this project.

Anyone should feel free to make other tickets if they want to help with items below.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

Additional context

The organization was discussed in #9100

[SteveLauC]

Let me give this a try:

math_expressions

[ ] Abs, Acos, Asin,

Update: Abs has been taken in #9286, I will handle the remaining 2 fns

[Lordworms]

I'll try to do regex_expressions parts.

[guojidan]

I'll try to do array_expressions parts.

[yyy1000]

I filed #9336 which I think may be necessary before we port functions.
