[SPARK-2024] Add saveAsSequenceFile to PySpark

JIRA issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2024

This PR is a followup to #455 and adds capabilities for saving PySpark RDDs using SequenceFile or any Hadoop OutputFormats.

* Added RDD methods ```saveAsSequenceFile```, ```saveAsHadoopFile``` and ```saveAsHadoopDataset```, for both old and new MapReduce APIs.

* Default converter for converting common data types to Writables. Users may specify custom converters to convert to desired data types.

* No out-of-box support for reading/writing arrays, since ArrayWritable itself doesn't have a no-arg constructor for creating an empty instance upon reading. Users need to provide ArrayWritable subtypes. Custom converters for converting arrays to suitable ArrayWritable subtypes are also needed when writing. When reading, the default converter will convert any custom ArrayWritable subtypes to ```Object[]``` and they get pickled to Python tuples.

* Added HBase and Cassandra output examples to show how custom output formats and converters can be used.

SPARK-2749 [BUILD]. Spark SQL Java tests aren't compiling in Jenkins' Maven builds; missing junit:junit dep

The Maven-based builds in the build matrix have been failing for a few days:

https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/jenkins/view/Spark/

On inspection, it looks like the Spark SQL Java tests don't compile:

https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/jenkins/view/Spark/job/Spark-Master-Maven-pre-YARN/hadoop.version=1.0.4,label=centos/244/consoleFull

I confirmed it by repeating the command vs master:

`mvn -Dhadoop.version=1.0.4 -Dlabel=centos -DskipTests clean package`

The problem is that this module doesn't depend on JUnit. In fact, none of the modules do, but `com.novocode:junit-interface` (the SBT-JUnit bridge) pulls it in, in most places. However this module doesn't depend on `com.novocode:junit-interface`

Adding the `junit:junit` dependency fixes the compile problem. In fact, the other modules with Java tests should probably depend on it explicitly instead of happening to get it via `com.novocode:junit-interface`, since that is a bit SBT/Scala-specific (and I am not even sure it's needed).

SPARK-2045 Sort-based shuffle

This adds a new ShuffleManager based on sorting, as described in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2045. The bulk of the code is in an ExternalSorter class that is similar to ExternalAppendOnlyMap, but sorts key-value pairs by partition ID and can be used to create a single sorted file with a map task's output. (Longer-term I think this can take on the remaining functionality in ExternalAppendOnlyMap and replace it so we don't have code duplication.)

The main TODOs still left are:
- [x] enabling ExternalSorter to merge across spilled files
  - [x] with an Ordering
  - [x] without an Ordering, using the keys' hash codes
- [x] adding more tests (e.g. a version of our shuffle suite that runs on this)
- [x] rebasing on top of the size-tracking refactoring in #1165 when that is merged
- [x] disabling spilling if spark.shuffle.spill is set to false

Despite this though, this seems to work pretty well (running successfully in cases where the hash shuffle would OOM, such as 1000 reduce tasks on executors with only 1G memory), and it seems to be comparable in speed or faster than hash-based shuffle (it will create much fewer files for the OS to keep track of). So I'm posting it to get some early feedback.

After these TODOs are done, I'd also like to enable ExternalSorter to sort data within each partition by a key as well, which will allow us to use it to implement external spilling in reduce tasks in `sortByKey`.
