[SPARK-2678][Core][SQL] A workaround for SPARK-2678

JIRA issues:

- Main: [SPARK-2678](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2678)
- Related: [SPARK-2874](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2874)

Related PR:

- #1715

This PR is both a fix for SPARK-2874 and a workaround for SPARK-2678. Fixing SPARK-2678 completely requires some API level changes that need further discussion, and we decided not to include it in Spark 1.1 release. As currently SPARK-2678 only affects Spark SQL scripts, this workaround is enough for Spark 1.1. Command line option handling logic in bash scripts looks somewhat dirty and duplicated, but it helps to provide a cleaner user interface as well as retain full downward compatibility for now.

[SPARK-2627] [PySpark] have the build enforce PEP 8 automatically

As described in [SPARK-2627](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2627), we'd like Python code to automatically be checked for PEP 8 compliance by Jenkins. This pull request aims to do that.

Notes:
* We may need to install [`pep8`](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep8) on the build server.
* I'm expecting tests to fail now that PEP 8 compliance is being checked as part of the build. I'm fine with cleaning up any remaining PEP 8 violations as part of this pull request.
* I did not understand why the RAT and scalastyle reports are saved to text files. I did the same for the PEP 8 check, but only so that the console output style can match those for the RAT and scalastyle checks. The PEP 8 report is removed right after the check is complete.
* Updates to the ["Contributing to Spark"](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Contributing+to+Spark) guide will be submitted elsewhere, as I don't believe that text is part of the Spark repo.
