[SPARK-4552][SQL] Avoid exception when reading empty parquet data through Hive

This is a very small fix that catches one specific exception and returns an empty table.  #3441 will address this in a more principled way.

[SPARK-4498][core] Don't transition ExecutorInfo to RUNNING until Driver adds Executor

The ExecutorInfo only reaches the RUNNING state if the Driver is alive to send the ExecutorStateChanged message to master.  Else, appInfo.resetRetryCount() is never called and failing Executors will eventually exceed ApplicationState.MAX_NUM_RETRY, resulting in the application being removed from the master's accounting.

[SPARK-4711] [mllib] [docs] Programming guide advice on choosing optimizer

I have heard requests for the docs to include advice about choosing an optimization method. The programming guide could include a brief statement about this (so the user does not have to read the whole optimization section).

[SPARK-4580] [SPARK-4610] [mllib] [docs] Documentation for tree ensembles + DecisionTree API fix

Major changes:
* Added programming guide sections for tree ensembles
* Added examples for tree ensembles
* Updated DecisionTree programming guide with more info on parameters
* **API change**: Standardized the tree parameter for the number of classes (for classification)

Minor changes:
* Updated decision tree documentation
* Updated existing tree and tree ensemble examples
 * Use train/test split, and compute test error instead of training error.
 * Fixed decision_tree_runner.py to actually use the number of classes it computes from data. (small bug fix)

Note: I know this is a lot of lines, but most is covered by:
* Programming guide sections for gradient boosting and random forests.  (The changes are probably best viewed by generating the docs locally.)
* New examples (which were copied from the programming guide)
* The "numClasses" renaming

I have run all examples and relevant unit tests.

[Release] Correctly translate contributors name in release notes

This commit involves three main changes:

(1) It separates the translation of contributor names from the
generation of the contributors list. This is largely motivated
by the Github API limit; even if we exceed this limit, we should
at least be able to proceed manually as before. This is why the
translation logic is abstracted into its own script
translate-contributors.py.

(2) When we look for candidate replacements for invalid author
names, we should look for the assignees of the associated JIRAs
too. As a result, the intermediate file must keep track of these.

(3) This provides an interactive mode with which the user can
sit at the terminal and manually pick the candidate replacement
that he/she thinks makes the most sense. As before, there is a
non-interactive mode that picks the first candidate that the
script considers "valid."

TODO: We should have a known_contributors file that stores
known mappings so we don't have to go through all of this
translation every time. This is also valuable because some
contributors simply cannot be automatically translated.

[docs] Fix outdated comment in tuning guide

When you use the SPARK_JAVA_OPTS env variable, Spark complains:

```
SPARK_JAVA_OPTS was detected (set to ' -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps ').
This is deprecated in Spark 1.0+.

Please instead use:
 - ./spark-submit with conf/spark-defaults.conf to set defaults for an application
 - ./spark-submit with --driver-java-options to set -X options for a driver
 - spark.executor.extraJavaOptions to set -X options for executors
 - SPARK_DAEMON_JAVA_OPTS to set java options for standalone daemons (master or worker)
```

This updates the docs to redirect the user to the relevant part of the configuration docs.

Documentation:
* Added ml-guide.md, linked from mllib-guide.md

Examples:
* CrossValidatorExample
* SimpleParamsExample
* (I copied these + the SimpleTextClassificationPipeline example into the ml-guide.md)

Bug fixes:
* PipelineModel: did not use ParamMaps correctly
* UnaryTransformer: issues with TypeTag serialization (Thanks to mengxr for that fix!)

[SPARK-4253] Ignore spark.driver.host in yarn-cluster and standalone-cluster modes

In yarn-cluster and standalone-cluster modes, we don't know where driver will run until it is launched.  If the `spark.driver.host` property is set on the submitting machine and propagated to the driver through SparkConf then this will lead to errors when the driver launches.

This patch fixes this issue by dropping the `spark.driver.host` property in SparkSubmit when running in a cluster deploy mode.
