[SPARK-16202][SQL][DOC] Correct The Description of CreatableRelationProvider's 
createRelation

#### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
The API description of `createRelation` in `CreatableRelationProvider` is 
misleading. The current description only expects users to return the relation.

```Scala
trait CreatableRelationProvider {
  def createRelation(
      sqlContext: SQLContext,
      mode: SaveMode,
      parameters: Map[String, String],
      data: DataFrame): BaseRelation
}
```

However, the major goal of this API should also include saving the `DataFrame`.

Since this API is critical for Data Source API developers, this PR is to 
correct the description.

#### How was this patch tested?
N/A

Closes #13903 from gatorsmile/readUnderscoreFiles.
