   ### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
   Avoid intermediate pandas dataframe creation in `df.toPandas`
   
   before: batches -> table -> intermediate pdf -> result pdf
   
   
   after: batches -> table -> result pdf
   
   
   
   ### Why are the changes needed?
   the intermediate pandas dataframe can be skipped
   
   simple benchmark in my local
   ```

   spark.conf.set("spark.sql.execution.arrow.pyspark.selfDestruct.enabled", "true")
   
   import time
   from pyspark.sql import functions as sf
   
   
   df = spark.range(1000000).select(
       (sf.col("id") % 2).alias("key"), sf.col("id").alias("v")
   )
   cols = {f"col_{i}": sf.lit(f"c{i}") for i in range(100)}
   df = df.withColumns(cols)
   df.cache()
   df.count()
   
   
   
   pdf = df.toPandas() # warm up
   
   
   start_arrow = time.perf_counter()
   for i in range(100):
       pdf = df.toPandas()
   
   time.perf_counter() - start_arrow
   ```
