SPARK-1416: PySpark support for SequenceFile and Hadoop InputFormats

So I finally resurrected this PR. It seems the old one against the incubator mirror is no longer available, so I cannot reference it.

This adds initial support for reading Hadoop ```SequenceFile```s, as well as arbitrary Hadoop ```InputFormat```s, in PySpark.

# Overview
The basics are as follows:
1. ```PythonRDD``` object contains the relevant methods, that are in turn invoked by ```SparkContext``` in PySpark
2. The SequenceFile or InputFormat is read on the Scala side and converted from ```Writable``` instances to the relevant Scala classes (in the case of primitives)
3. Pyrolite is used to serialize Java objects. If this fails, the fallback is ```toString```
4. ```PickleSerializer``` on the Python side deserializes.

This works "out the box" for simple ```Writable```s:
* ```Text```
* ```IntWritable```, ```DoubleWritable```, ```FloatWritable```
* ```NullWritable```
* ```BooleanWritable```
* ```BytesWritable```
* ```MapWritable```

It also works for simple, "struct-like" classes. Due to the way Pyrolite works, this requires that the classes satisfy the JavaBeans convenstions (i.e. with fields and a no-arg constructor and getters/setters). (Perhaps in future some sugar for case classes and reflection could be added).

I've tested it out with ```ESInputFormat```  as an example and it works very nicely:
```python
conf = {"es.resource" : "index/type" }
rdd = sc.newAPIHadoopRDD("org.elasticsearch.hadoop.mr.EsInputFormat", "org.apache.hadoop.io.NullWritable", "org.elasticsearch.hadoop.mr.LinkedMapWritable", conf=conf)
rdd.first()
```

I suspect for things like HBase/Cassandra it will be a bit trickier to get it to work out the box.

# Some things still outstanding:
1. ~~Requires ```msgpack-python``` and will fail without it. As originally discussed with Josh, add a ```as_strings``` argument that defaults to ```False```, that can be used if ```msgpack-python``` is not available~~
2. ~~I see from https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/363 that Pyrolite is being used there for SerDe between Scala and Python. @ahirreddy @mateiz what is the plan behind this - is Pyrolite preferred? It seems from a cursory glance that adapting the ```msgpack```-based SerDe here to use Pyrolite wouldn't be too hard~~
3. ~~Support the key and value "wrapper" that would allow a Scala/Java function to be plugged in that would transform whatever the key/value Writable class is into something that can be serialized (e.g. convert some custom Writable to a JavaBean or ```java.util.Map``` that can be easily serialized)~~
4. Support ```saveAsSequenceFile``` and ```saveAsHadoopFile``` etc. This would require SerDe in the reverse direction, that can be handled by Pyrolite. Will work on this as a separate PR

[SPARK-1508][SQL] Add SQLConf to SQLContext.

This PR (1) introduces a new class SQLConf that stores key-value properties for a SQLContext (2) clean up the semantics of various forms of SET commands.

The SQLConf class unlocks user-controllable optimization opportunities; for example, user can now override the number of partitions used during an Exchange. A SQLConf can be accessed and modified programmatically through its getters and setters. It can also be modified through SET commands executed by `sql()` or `hql()`. Note that users now have the ability to change a particular property for different queries inside the same Spark job, unlike settings configured in SparkConf.

For SET commands: "SET" will return all properties currently set in a SQLConf, "SET key" will return the key-value pair (if set) or an undefined message, and "SET key=value" will call the setter on SQLConf, and if a HiveContext is used, it will be executed in Hive as well.
