[SPARK-2764] Simplify daemon.py process structure

Curently, daemon.py forks a pool of numProcessors subprocesses, and those processes fork themselves again to create the actual Python worker processes that handle data.

I think that this extra layer of indirection is unnecessary and adds a lot of complexity.  This commit attempts to remove this middle layer of subprocesses by launching the workers directly from daemon.py.

See https://github.com/mesos/spark/pull/563 for the original PR that added daemon.py, where I raise some issues with the current design.

Streaming mllib [SPARK-2438][MLLIB]

This PR implements a streaming linear regression analysis, in which a linear regression model is trained online as new data arrive. The design is based on discussions with tdas and mengxr, in which we determined how to add this functionality in a general way, with minimal changes to existing libraries.

__Summary of additions:__

_StreamingLinearAlgorithm_
- An abstract class for fitting generalized linear models online to streaming data, including training on (and updating) a model, and making predictions.

_StreamingLinearRegressionWithSGD_
- Class and companion object for running streaming linear regression

_StreamingLinearRegressionTestSuite_
- Unit tests

_StreamingLinearRegression_
- Example use case: fitting a model online to data from one stream, and making predictions on other data

__Notes__
- If this looks good, I can use the StreamingLinearAlgorithm class to easily implement other analyses that follow the same logic (Ridge, Lasso, Logistic, SVM).

[SPARK-2801][MLlib]: DistributionGenerator renamed to RandomDataGenerator. RandomRDD is now of generic type

The RandomRDDGenerators used to only output RDD[Double].
Now RandomRDDGenerators.randomRDD can be used to generate a random RDD[T] via a class that extends RandomDataGenerator, by supplying a type T and overriding the nextValue() function as they wish.

StatCounter on NumPy arrays [PYSPARK][SPARK-2012]

These changes allow StatCounters to work properly on NumPy arrays, to fix the issue reported here  (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2012).

If NumPy is installed, the NumPy functions ``maximum``, ``minimum``, and ``sqrt``, which work on arrays, are used to merge statistics. If not, we fall back on scalar operators, so it will work on arrays with NumPy, but will also work without NumPy.

New unit tests added, along with a check for NumPy in the tests.

[SPARK-2316] Avoid O(blocks) operations in listeners

The existing code in `StorageUtils` is not the most efficient. Every time we want to update an `RDDInfo` we end up iterating through all blocks on all block managers just to discard most of them. The symptoms manifest themselves in the bountiful UI bugs observed in the wild. Many of these bugs are caused by the slow consumption of events in `LiveListenerBus`, which frequently leads to the event queue overflowing and `SparkListenerEvent`s being dropped on the floor. The changes made in this PR avoid this by first filtering out only the blocks relevant to us before computing storage information from them.

It's worth a mention that this corner of the Spark code is also not very well-tested at all. The bulk of the changes in this PR (more than 60%) is actually test cases for the various logic in `StorageUtils.scala` as well as `StorageTab.scala`. These will eventually be extended to cover the various listeners that constitute the `SparkUI`.
