[SPARK-2233] make-distribution script should list the git hash in the RELEASE file

This patch adds the git revision hash (short version) to the RELEASE file. It uses git instead of simply checking for the existence of .git, so as to make sure that this is a functional repository.

[SPARK-1394] Remove SIGCHLD handler in worker subprocess

It should not be the responsibility of the worker subprocess, which
does not intentionally fork, to try and cleanup child processes. Doing
so is complex and interferes with operations such as
platform.system().

If it is desirable to have tighter control over subprocesses, then
namespaces should be used and it should be the manager's resposibility
to handle cleanup.

[SPARK-2320] Reduce exception/code block font size in web ui

[SPARK-1683] Track task read metrics.

This commit adds a new metric in TaskMetrics to record
the input data size and displays this information in the UI.

An earlier version of this commit also added the read time,
which can be useful for diagnosing straggler problems,
but unfortunately that change introduced a significant performance
regression for jobs that don't do much computation. In order to
track read time, we'll need to do sampling.

The screenshots below show the UI with the new "Input" field,
which I added to the stage summary page, the executor summary page,
and the per-stage page.

SPARK-897:  preemptively serialize closures

These commits cause `ClosureCleaner.clean` to attempt to serialize the cleaned closure with the default closure serializer and throw a `SparkException` if doing so fails.  This behavior is enabled by default but can be disabled at individual callsites of `SparkContext.clean`.

Commit 98e01ae8 fixes some no-op assertions in `GraphSuite` that this work exposed; I'm happy to put that in a separate PR if that would be more appropriate.

[SPARK-2324] SparkContext should not exit directly when spark.local.dir is a list of multiple paths and one of them has error

The spark.local.dir is configured as a list of multiple paths as follows /data1/sparkenv/local,/data2/sparkenv/local. If the disk data2 of the driver node has error, the application will exit since DiskBlockManager exits directly at createLocalDirs. If the disk data2 of the worker node has error, the executor will exit either.
DiskBlockManager should not exit directly at createLocalDirs if one of spark.local.dir has error. Since spark.local.dir has multiple paths, a problem should not affect the overall situation.
I think DiskBlockManager could ignore the bad directory at createLocalDirs.
