[Release] Automate generation of contributors list

This commit provides a script that computes the contributors list
by linking the github commits with JIRA issues. Automatically
translating github usernames remains a TODO at this point.

[SPARK-4613][Core] Java API for JdbcRDD

This PR introduces a set of Java APIs for using `JdbcRDD`:

1. Trait (interface) `JdbcRDD.ConnectionFactory`: equivalent to the `getConnection: () => Connection` parameter in `JdbcRDD` constructor.
2. Two overloaded versions of `Jdbc.create`: used to create `JavaRDD` that wraps a `JdbcRDD`.

[SPARK-4645][SQL] Disables asynchronous execution in Hive 0.13.1 HiveThriftServer2

This PR disables HiveThriftServer2 asynchronous execution by setting `runInBackground` argument in `ExecuteStatementOperation` to `false`, and reverting `SparkExecuteStatementOperation.run` in Hive 13 shim to Hive 12 version. This change makes Simba ODBC driver v1.0.0.1000 work.

Delete unnecessary function

when building spark by sbt, the function “runAlternateBoot" in sbt/sbt-launch-lib.bash is not used. And this function is not used by spark code. So I think this function is not necessary. And the option of "sbt.boot.properties" can be configured in the command line when building spark, eg:
sbt/sbt assembly -Dsbt.boot.properties=$bootpropsfile.

The file from https://github.com/sbt/sbt-launcher-package is changed. And the function “runAlternateBoot" is deleted in upstream project. I think spark project should delete this function in file sbt/sbt-launch-lib.bash. Thanks.

[SPARK-4584] [yarn] Remove security manager from Yarn AM.

The security manager adds a lot of overhead to the runtime of the
app, and causes a severe performance regression. Even stubbing out
all unneeded methods (all except checkExit()) does not help.

So, instead, penalize users who do an explicit System.exit() by leaving
them in "undefined behavior" territory: if they do that, the Yarn
backend won't be able to report the final app status to the RM.
The result is that the final status of the application might not match
the user's expectations.

One side-effect of the change is that users who do an explicit
System.exit() will lose the AM retry functionality. Since there is
no way to know if the exit was because of success or failure, the
AM right now errs on the side of it being a successful exit.

SPARK-1450 [EC2] Specify the default zone in the EC2 script help

This looks like a one-liner, so I took a shot at it. There can be no fixed default availability zone since the names are different per region. But the default behavior can be documented:

```
    if opts.zone == "":
        opts.zone = random.choice(conn.get_all_zones()).name
```

[SPARK-3398] [SPARK-4325] [EC2] Use EC2 status checks.

This PR re-introduces [0e648bc](https://github.com/apache/spark/commit/0e648bc2bedcbeb55fce5efac04f6dbad9f063b4) from PR #2339, which somehow never made it into the codebase.

Additionally, it removes a now-unnecessary linear backoff on the SSH checks since we are blocking on EC2 status checks before testing SSH.

[SPARK-4505][Core] Add a ClassTag parameter to CompactBuffer[T]

Added a ClassTag parameter to CompactBuffer. So CompactBuffer[T] can create primitive arrays for primitive types. It will reduce the memory usage for primitive types significantly and only pay minor performance lost.

Here is my test code:
```Scala
  // Call org.apache.spark.util.SizeEstimator.estimate
  def estimateSize(obj: AnyRef): Long = {
    val c = Class.forName("org.apache.spark.util.SizeEstimator$")
    val f = c.getField("MODULE$")
    val o = f.get(c)
    val m = c.getMethod("estimate", classOf[Object])
    m.setAccessible(true)
    m.invoke(o, obj).asInstanceOf[Long]
  }

  sc.parallelize(1 to 10000).groupBy(_ => 1).foreach {
    case (k, v) =>
      println(v.getClass() + " size: " + estimateSize(v))
  }
```

Using the previous CompactBuffer outputed
```
class org.apache.spark.util.collection.CompactBuffer size: 313358
```

Using the new CompactBuffer outputed
```
class org.apache.spark.util.collection.CompactBuffer size: 65712
```

In this case, the new `CompactBuffer` only used 20% memory of the previous one. It's really helpful for `groupByKey` when using a primitive value.
