[SPARK-2716][SQL] Don't check resolved for having filters.

For queries like `... HAVING COUNT(*) > 9` the expression is always resolved since it contains no attributes.  This was causing us to avoid doing the Having clause aggregation rewrite.

[SPARK-2054][SQL] Code Generation for Expression Evaluation

Adds a new method for evaluating expressions using code that is generated though Scala reflection.  This functionality is configured by the SQLConf option `spark.sql.codegen` and is currently turned off by default.

Evaluation can be done in several specialized ways:
 - *Projection* - Given an input row, produce a new row from a set of expressions that define each column in terms of the input row.  This can either produce a new Row object or perform the projection in-place on an existing Row (MutableProjection).
 - *Ordering* - Compares two rows based on a list of `SortOrder` expressions
 - *Condition* - Returns `true` or `false` given an input row.

For each of the above operations there is both a Generated and Interpreted version.  When generation for a given expression type is undefined, the code generator falls back on calling the `eval` function of the expression class.  Even without custom code, there is still a potential speed up, as loops are unrolled and code can still be inlined by JIT.

This PR also contains a new type of Aggregation operator, `GeneratedAggregate`, that performs aggregation by using generated `Projection` code.  Currently the required expression rewriting only works for simple aggregations like `SUM` and `COUNT`.  This functionality will be extended in a future PR.

This PR also performs several clean ups that simplified the implementation:
 - The notion of `Binding` all expressions in a tree automatically before query execution has been removed.  Instead it is the responsibly of an operator to provide the input schema when creating one of the specialized evaluators defined above.  In cases when the standard eval method is going to be called, binding can still be done manually using `BindReferences`.  There are a few reasons for this change:  First, there were many operators where it just didn't work before.  For example, operators with more than one child, and operators like aggregation that do significant rewriting of the expression. Second, the semantics of equality with `BoundReferences` are broken.  Specifically, we have had a few bugs where partitioning breaks because of the binding.
 - A copy of the current `SQLContext` is automatically propagated to all `SparkPlan` nodes by the query planner.  Before this was done ad-hoc for the nodes that needed this.  However, this required a lot of boilerplate as one had to always remember to make it `transient` and also had to modify the `otherCopyArgs`.

[SPARK-2568] RangePartitioner should run only one job if data is balanced

As of Spark 1.0, RangePartitioner goes through data twice: once to compute the count and once to do sampling. As a result, to do sortByKey, Spark goes through data 3 times (once to count, once to sample, and once to sort).

`RangePartitioner` should go through data only once, collecting samples from input partitions as well as counting. If the data is balanced, this should give us a good sketch. If we see big partitions, we re-sample from them in order to collect enough items.

The downside is that we need to collect more from each partition in the first pass. An alternative solution is caching the intermediate result and decide whether to fetch the data after.

[SPARK-2260] Fix standalone-cluster mode, which was broken

The main thing was that spark configs were not propagated to the driver, and so applications that do not specify `master` or `appName` automatically failed. This PR fixes that and a couple of miscellaneous things that are related.

One thing that may or may not be an issue is that the jars must be available on the driver node. In `standalone-cluster` mode, this effectively means these jars must be available on all the worker machines, since the driver is launched on one of them. The semantics here are not the same as `yarn-cluster` mode,  where all the relevant jars are uploaded to a distributed cache automatically and shipped to the containers. This is probably not a concern, but still worth a mention.

[SPARK-2179][SQL] Public API for DataTypes and Schema

The current PR contains the following changes:
* Expose `DataType`s in the sql package (internal details are private to sql).
* Users can create Rows.
* Introduce `applySchema` to create a `SchemaRDD` by applying a `schema: StructType` to an `RDD[Row]`.
* Add a function `simpleString` to every `DataType`. Also, the schema represented by a `StructType` can be visualized by `printSchema`.
* `ScalaReflection.typeOfObject` provides a way to infer the Catalyst data type based on an object. Also, we can compose `typeOfObject` with some custom logics to form a new function to infer the data type (for different use cases).
* `JsonRDD` has been refactored to use changes introduced by this PR.
* Add a field `containsNull` to `ArrayType`. So, we can explicitly mark if an `ArrayType` can contain null values. The default value of `containsNull` is `false`.

New APIs are introduced in the sql package object and SQLContext. You can find the scaladoc at
[sql package object](http://yhuai.github.io/site/api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.sql.package) and [SQLContext](http://yhuai.github.io/site/api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext).

An example of using `applySchema` is shown below.
```scala
import org.apache.spark.sql._
val sqlContext = new org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext(sc)

val schema =
  StructType(
    StructField("name", StringType, false) ::
    StructField("age", IntegerType, true) :: Nil)

val people = sc.textFile("examples/src/main/resources/people.txt").map(_.split(",")).map(p => Row(p(0), p(1).trim.toInt))
val peopleSchemaRDD = sqlContext. applySchema(people, schema)
peopleSchemaRDD.printSchema
// root
// |-- name: string (nullable = false)
// |-- age: integer (nullable = true)

peopleSchemaRDD.registerAsTable("people")
sqlContext.sql("select name from people").collect.foreach(println)
```

I will add new contents to the SQL programming guide later.

SPARK-2748 [MLLIB] [GRAPHX] Loss of precision for small arguments to Math.exp, Math.log

In a few places in MLlib, an expression of the form `log(1.0 + p)` is evaluated. When p is so small that `1.0 + p == 1.0`, the result is 0.0. However the correct answer is very near `p`. This is why `Math.log1p` exists.

Similarly for one instance of `exp(m) - 1` in GraphX; there's a special `Math.expm1` method.

While the errors occur only for very small arguments, given their use in machine learning algorithms, this is entirely possible.

[SPARK-2521] Broadcast RDD object (instead of sending it along with every task)

This is a resubmission of #1452. It was reverted because it broke the build.

Currently (as of Spark 1.0.1), Spark sends RDD object (which contains closures) using Akka along with the task itself to the executors. This is inefficient because all tasks in the same stage use the same RDD object, but we have to send RDD object multiple times to the executors. This is especially bad when a closure references some variable that is very large. The current design led to users having to explicitly broadcast large variables.

The patch uses broadcast to send RDD objects and the closures to executors, and use Akka to only send a reference to the broadcast RDD/closure along with the partition specific information for the task. For those of you who know more about the internals, Spark already relies on broadcast to send the Hadoop JobConf every time it uses the Hadoop input, because the JobConf is large.

The user-facing impact of the change include:

1. Users won't need to decide what to broadcast anymore, unless they would want to use a large object multiple times in different operations
2. Task size will get smaller, resulting in faster scheduling and higher task dispatch throughput.

In addition, the change will simplify some internals of Spark, eliminating the need to maintain task caches and the complex logic to broadcast JobConf (which also led to a deadlock recently).

A simple way to test this:
```scala
val a = new Array[Byte](1000*1000); scala.util.Random.nextBytes(a);
sc.parallelize(1 to 1000, 1000).map { x => a; x }.groupBy { x => a; x }.count
```
