Description

In https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/42985 , we extended the `raise_error` function to take an extra error-class parameter. However, this is too powerful as users may use it to throw special internal errors that we don't expect them to throw.

It's useful to have this `raise_error` extension for internal usage. We should create an `ExpressionBuilder` for `raise_error` function, so that we only allow end users to pass the error message, not error class.
