[SPARK-4592] Avoid duplicate worker registrations in standalone mode

**Summary.** On failover, the Master may receive duplicate registrations from the same worker, causing the worker to exit. This is caused by this commit https://github.com/apache/spark/commit/4afe9a4852ebeb4cc77322a14225cd3dec165f3f, which adds logic for the worker to re-register with the master in case of failures. However, the following race condition may occur:

(1) Master A fails and Worker attempts to reconnect to all masters
(2) Master B takes over and notifies Worker
(3) Worker responds by registering with Master B
(4) Meanwhile, Worker's previous reconnection attempt reaches Master B, causing the same Worker to register with Master B twice

**Fix.** Instead of attempting to register with all known masters, the worker should re-register with only the one that it has been communicating with. This is safe because the fact that a failover has occurred means the old master must have died. Then, when the worker is finally notified of a new master, it gives up on the old one in favor of the new one.

**Caveat.** Even this fix is subject to more obscure race conditions. For instance, if Master B fails and Master A recovers immediately, then Master A may still observe duplicate worker registrations. However, this and other potential race conditions summarized in [SPARK-4592](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4592), are much, much less likely than the one described above, which is deterministically reproducible.

[SPARK-4546] Improve HistoryServer first time user experience

The documentation points the user to run the following
```
sbin/start-history-server.sh
```
The first thing this does is throw an exception that complains a log directory is not specified. The exception message itself does not say anything about what to set. Instead we should have a default and a landing page with a better message. The new default log directory is `file:/tmp/spark-events`.

This is what it looks like as of this PR:

[Spark-4509] Revert EC2 tag-based cluster membership patch

This PR reverts changes related to tag-based cluster membership. As discussed in SPARK-3332, we didn't figure out a safe strategy to use tags to determine cluster membership, because tagging is not atomic. The following changes are reverted:

SPARK-2333: 94053a7b766788bb62e2dbbf352ccbcc75f71fc0
SPARK-3213: 7faf755ae4f0cf510048e432340260a6e609066d
SPARK-3608: 78d4220fa0bf2f9ee663e34bbf3544a5313b02f0.

I tested launch, login, and destroy. It is easy to check the diff by comparing it to Josh's patch for branch-1.1:

https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/2225/files

JoshRosen I sent the PR to master. It might be easier for us to keep master and branch-1.2 the same at this time. We can always re-apply the patch once we figure out a stable solution.

[SPARK-4583] [mllib] LogLoss for GradientBoostedTrees fix + doc updates

Currently, the LogLoss used by GradientBoostedTrees has 2 issues:
* the gradient (and therefore loss) does not match that used by Friedman (1999)
* the error computation uses 0/1 accuracy, not log loss

This PR updates LogLoss.
It also adds some doc for boosting and forests.

I tested it on sample data and made sure the log loss is monotonically decreasing with each boosting iteration.

[SPARK-4516] Cap default number of Netty threads at 8

In practice, only 2-4 cores should be required to transfer roughly 10 Gb/s, and each core that we use will have an initial overhead of roughly 32 MB of off-heap memory, which comes at a premium.

Thus, this value should still retain maximum throughput and reduce wasted off-heap memory allocation. It can be overridden by setting the number of serverThreads and clientThreads manually in Spark's configuration.

[SPARK-4516] Avoid allocating Netty PooledByteBufAllocators unnecessarily

Turns out we are allocating an allocator pool for every TransportClient (which means that the number increases with the number of nodes in the cluster), when really we should just reuse one for all clients.

This patch, as expected, greatly decreases off-heap memory allocation, and appears to make allocation only proportional to the number of cores.

[SPARK-4612] Reduce task latency and increase scheduling throughput by making configuration initialization lazy

https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/executor/Executor.scala#L337 creates a configuration object for every task that is launched, even if there is no new dependent file/JAR to update. This is a heavy-weight creation that should be avoided if there is no new file/JAR to update. This PR makes that creation lazy. Quick local test in spark-perf scheduling throughput tests gives the following numbers in a local standalone scheduler mode.
1 job with 10000 tasks: before 7.8395 seconds, after 2.6415 seconds = 3x increase in task scheduling throughput

Removing confusing TripletFields

After additional discussion with rxin, I think having all the possible `TripletField` options is confusing.  This pull request reduces the triplet fields to:

```java
  /**
   * None of the triplet fields are exposed.
   */
  public static final TripletFields None = new TripletFields(false, false, false);

  /**
   * Expose only the edge field and not the source or destination field.
   */
  public static final TripletFields EdgeOnly = new TripletFields(false, false, true);

  /**
   * Expose the source and edge fields but not the destination field. (Same as Src)
   */
  public static final TripletFields Src = new TripletFields(true, false, true);

  /**
   * Expose the destination and edge fields but not the source field. (Same as Dst)
   */
  public static final TripletFields Dst = new TripletFields(false, true, true);

  /**
   * Expose all the fields (source, edge, and destination).
   */
  public static final TripletFields All = new TripletFields(true, true, true);

[SPARK-4614][MLLIB] Slight API changes in Matrix and Matrices

Before we have a full picture of the operators we want to add, it might be safer to hide `Matrix.transposeMultiply` in 1.2.0. Another update we want to change is `Matrix.randn` and `Matrix.rand`, both of which should take a `Random` implementation. Otherwise, it is very likely to produce inconsistent RDDs. I also added some unit tests for matrix factory methods. All APIs are new in 1.2, so there is no incompatible changes.

[SPARK-732][SPARK-3628][CORE][RESUBMIT] eliminate duplicate update on accmulator

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3628

In current implementation, the accumulator will be updated for every successfully finished task, even the task is from a resubmitted stage, which makes the accumulator counter-intuitive

In this patch, I changed the way for the DAGScheduler to update the accumulator,

DAGScheduler maintains a HashTable, mapping the stage id to the received <accumulator_id , value> pairs. Only when the stage becomes independent, (no job needs it any more), we accumulate the values of the <accumulator_id , value> pairs, when a task finished, we check if the HashTable has contained such stageId, it saves the accumulator_id, value only when the task is the first finished task of a new stage or the stage is running for the first attempt...
