We used "nested" types in a number of places to refer to a "child" type. This was confusing and this tries to fix it. If needed I can add in a definition of a nested type and a child type to the docs too.

child makes it more clear to me but should get others feedback and keep things consistent in our terminology. @sameerz

Does childType here really mean a subtype or a type of some children (columns) or something similar?

Type of child columns. Not child type as in the IntegerType class is a child of the NumericType class, which is also a child of the AtomicType class in Spark.
