SPARK-729:  Closures not always serialized at capture time

[SPARK-729](https://spark-project.atlassian.net/browse/SPARK-729) concerns when free variables in closure arguments to transformations are captured.  Currently, it is possible for closures to get the environment in which they are serialized (not the environment in which they are created).  There are a few possible approaches to solving this problem and this PR will discuss some of them.  The approach I took has the advantage of being simple, obviously correct, and minimally-invasive, but it preserves something that has been bothering me about Spark's closure handling, so I'd like to discuss an alternative and get some feedback on whether or not it is worth pursuing.

## What I did

The basic approach I took depends on the work I did for #143, and so this PR is based atop that.  Specifically: #143 modifies `ClosureCleaner.clean` to preemptively determine whether or not closures are serializable immediately upon closure cleaning (rather than waiting for an job involving that closure to be scheduled).  Thus non-serializable closure exceptions will be triggered by the line defining the closure rather than triggered where the closure is used.

Since the easiest way to determine whether or not a closure is serializable is to attempt to serialize it, the code in #143 is creating a serialized closure as part of `ClosureCleaner.clean`.  `clean` currently modifies its argument, but the method in `SparkContext` that wraps it to return a value (a reference to the modified-in-place argument).  This branch modifies `ClosureCleaner.clean` so that it returns a value:  if it is cleaning a serializable closure, it returns the result of deserializing its serialized argument; therefore it is returning a closure with an environment captured at cleaning time.  `SparkContext.clean` then returns the result of `ClosureCleaner.clean`, rather than a reference to its modified-in-place argument.

I've added tests for this behavior (777a1bc).  The pull request as it stands, given the changes in #143, is nearly trivial.  There is some overhead from deserializing the closure, but it is minimal and the benefit of obvious operational correctness (vs. a more sophisticated but harder-to-validate transformation in `ClosureCleaner`) seems pretty important.  I think this is a fine way to solve this problem, but it's not perfect.

## What we might want to do

The thing that has been bothering me about Spark's handling of closures is that it seems like we should be able to statically ensure that cleaning and serialization happen exactly once for a given closure.  If we serialize a closure in order to determine whether or not it is serializable, we should be able to hang on to the generated byte buffer and use it instead of re-serializing the closure later.  By replacing closures with instances of a sum type that encodes whether or not a closure has been cleaned or serialized, we could handle clean, to-be-cleaned, and serialized closures separately with case matches.  Here's a somewhat-concrete sketch (taken from my git stash) of what this might look like:

```scala
package org.apache.spark.util

import java.nio.ByteBuffer
import scala.reflect.ClassManifest

sealed abstract class ClosureBox[T] { def func: T }
final case class RawClosure[T](func: T) extends ClosureBox[T] {}
final case class CleanedClosure[T](func: T) extends ClosureBox[T] {}
final case class SerializedClosure[T](func: T, bytebuf: ByteBuffer) extends ClosureBox[T] {}

object ClosureBoxImplicits {
  implicit def closureBoxFromFunc[T <: AnyRef](fun: T) = new RawClosure[T](fun)
}
```

With these types declared, we'd be able to change `ClosureCleaner.clean` to take a `ClosureBox[T=>U]` (possibly generated by implicit conversion) and return a `ClosureBox[T=>U]` (either a `CleanedClosure[T=>U]` or a `SerializedClosure[T=>U]`, depending on whether or not serializability-checking was enabled) instead of a `T=>U`.  A case match could thus short-circuit cleaning or serializing closures that had already been cleaned or serialized (both in `ClosureCleaner` and in the closure serializer).  Cleaned-and-serialized closures would be represented by a boxed tuple of the original closure and a serialized copy (complete with an environment quiesced at transformation time).  Additional implicit conversions could convert from `ClosureBox` instances to the underlying function type where appropriate.  Tracking this sort of state in the type system seems like the right thing to do to me.

### Why we might not want to do that

_It's pretty invasive._  Every function type used by every `RDD` subclass would have to change to reflect that they expected a `ClosureBox[T=>U]` instead of a `T=>U`.  This obscures what's going on and is not a little ugly.  Although I really like the idea of using the type system to enforce the clean-or-serialize once discipline, it might not be worth adding another layer of types (even if we could hide some of the extra boilerplate with judicious application of implicit conversions).

_It statically guarantees a property whose absence is unlikely to cause any serious problems as it stands._  It appears that all closures are currently dynamically cleaned once and it's not obvious that repeated closure-cleaning is likely to be a problem in the future.  Furthermore, serializing closures is relatively cheap, so doing it once to check for serialization and once again to actually ship them across the wire doesn't seem like a big deal.

Taken together, these seem like a high price to pay for statically guaranteeing that closures are operated upon only once.

## Other possibilities

I felt like the serialize-and-deserialize approach was best due to its obvious simplicity.  But it would be possible to do a more sophisticated transformation within `ClosureCleaner.clean`.  It might also be possible for `clean` to modify its argument in a way so that whether or not a given closure had been cleaned would be apparent upon inspection; this would buy us some of the operational benefits of the `ClosureBox` approach but not the static cleanliness.

I'm interested in any feedback or discussion on whether or not the problems with the type-based approach indeed outweigh the advantage, as well as of approaches to this issue and to closure handling in general.
