[SPARK-4672][Core]Checkpoint() should clear f to shorten the serialization chain

The related JIRA is https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4672

The f closure of `PartitionsRDD(ZippedPartitionsRDD2)` contains a `$outer` that references EdgeRDD/VertexRDD, which causes task's serialization chain become very long in iterative GraphX applications. As a result, StackOverflow error will occur. If we set "f = null" in `clearDependencies()`, checkpoint() can cut off the long serialization chain. More details and explanation can be found in the JIRA.

[SPARK-4708][MLLib] Make k-mean runs two/three times faster with dense/sparse sample

Note that the usage of `breezeSquaredDistance` in
`org.apache.spark.mllib.util.MLUtils.fastSquaredDistance`
is in the critical path, and `breezeSquaredDistance` is slow.
We should replace it with our own implementation.

Here is the benchmark against mnist8m dataset.

SPARK-2624 add datanucleus jars to the container in yarn-cluster

If `spark-submit` finds the datanucleus jars, it adds them to the driver's classpath, but does not add it to the container.

The ExecutorInfo only reaches the RUNNING state if the Driver is alive to send the ExecutorStateChanged message to master.  Else, appInfo.resetRetryCount() is never called and failing Executors will eventually exceed ApplicationState.MAX_NUM_RETRY, resulting in the application being removed from the master's accounting.

[SPARK-4711] [mllib] [docs] Programming guide advice on choosing optimizer

[SPARK-4580] [SPARK-4610] [mllib] [docs] Documentation for tree ensembles + DecisionTree API fix

Major changes:
* Added programming guide sections for tree ensembles
* Added examples for tree ensembles
* Updated DecisionTree programming guide with more info on parameters
* **API change**: Standardized the tree parameter for the number of classes (for classification)

Minor changes:
* Updated decision tree documentation
* Updated existing tree and tree ensemble examples
 * Use train/test split, and compute test error instead of training error.
 * Fixed decision_tree_runner.py to actually use the number of classes it computes from data. (small bug fix)

Note: I know this is a lot of lines, but most is covered by:
* Programming guide sections for gradient boosting and random forests.  (The changes are probably best viewed by generating the docs locally.)
* New examples (which were copied from the programming guide)
* The "numClasses" renaming

I have run all examples and relevant unit tests.

[Release] Correctly translate contributors name in release notes

This commit involves three main changes:

(1) It separates the translation of contributor names from the
generation of the contributors list. This is largely motivated
by the Github API limit; even if we exceed this limit, we should
at least be able to proceed manually as before. This is why the
translation logic is abstracted into its own script
translate-contributors.py.

(2) When we look for candidate replacements for invalid author
names, we should look for the assignees of the associated JIRAs
too. As a result, the intermediate file must keep track of these.

(3) This provides an interactive mode with which the user can
sit at the terminal and manually pick the candidate replacement
that he/she thinks makes the most sense. As before, there is a
non-interactive mode that picks the first candidate that the
script considers "valid."

TODO: We should have a known_contributors file that stores
known mappings so we don't have to go through all of this
translation every time. This is also valuable because some
contributors simply cannot be automatically translated.
