[SPARK-23645][MINOR][DOCS][PYTHON] Add docs RE
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Add documentation about the limitations of `pandas_udf` with keyword arguments and related concepts, like `functools.partial` fn objects.
NOTE: intermediate commits on this PR show some of the steps that can be taken to fix some (but not all) of these pain points.
### Survey of problems we face today:
(Initialize) Note: python 3.6 and spark 2.4snapshot.
```
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
import inspect, functools
from pyspark.sql.functions import pandas_udf, PandasUDFType, col, lit, udf
spark = SparkSession.builder.getOrCreate()
print(spark.version)
df = spark.range(1,6).withColumn('b', col('id') * 2)
def ok(a,b): return a+b
```
Using a keyword argument at the call site `b=...` (and yes, *full* stack trace below, haha):
```
---> 14 df.withColumn('ok', pandas_udf(f=ok, returnType='bigint')('id', b='id')).show() # no kwargs
TypeError: wrapper() got an unexpected keyword argument 'b'
```
Using partial with a keyword argument where the kw-arg is the first argument of the fn:
*(Aside: kind of interesting that lines 15,16 work great and then 17 explodes)*
```
