SPARK-1976: fix the misleading part in  streaming docs

Spark streaming requires at least two working threads, but the document gives the example like

import org.apache.spark.api.java.function._
import org.apache.spark.streaming._
import org.apache.spark.streaming.api._
// Create a StreamingContext with a local master
val ssc = new StreamingContext("local", "NetworkWordCount", Seconds(1))

Optionally include Hive as a dependency of the REPL.

Due to the way spark-shell launches from an assembly jar, I don't think this change will affect anyone who isn't trying to launch the shell directly from sbt.  That said, it is kinda nice to be able to launch all things directly from SBT when developing.

Super minor: Close inputStream in SparkSubmitArguments

`Properties#load()` doesn't close the InputStream, but it'd be closed after being GC'd anyway...

Also changed file.getName to file, because getName only shows the filename. This will show the full (possibly relative) path, which is less confusing if it's not found.

SPARK-1839: PySpark RDD#take() shouldn't always read from driver

This patch simply ports over the Scala implementation of RDD#take(), which reads the first partition at the driver, then decides how many more partitions it needs to read and will possibly start a real job if it's more than 1. (Note that SparkContext#runJob(allowLocal=true) only runs the job locally if there's 1 partition selected and no parent stages.)

Made spark_ec2.py PEP8 compliant.

The change set is actually pretty small -- mostly whitespace changes. Admittedly this is a scary change due to the lack of tests to cover the ec2 scripts, and also because indentation actually impacts control flow in Python ...

Better explanation for how to use MIMA excludes.

This patch does a few things:
1. We have a file MimaExcludes.scala exclusively for excludes.
2. The test runner tells users about that file if a test fails.
3. I've added back the excludes used from 0.9->1.0. We should keep
   these in the project as an official audit trail of times where
   we decided to make exceptions.

[SPARK-1553] Alternating nonnegative least-squares

This pull request includes a nonnegative least-squares solver (NNLS) tailored to the kinds of small-scale problems that come up when training matrix factorisation models by alternating nonnegative least-squares (ANNLS).

The method used for the NNLS subproblems is based on the classical method of projected gradients.  There is a modification where, if the set of active constraints has not changed since the last iteration, a conjugate gradient step is considered and possibly rejected in favour of the gradient; this improves convergence once the optimal face has been located.

The NNLS solver is in `org.apache.spark.mllib.optimization.NNLSbyPCG`.
