SPARK-2893: Do not swallow Exceptions when running a custom kryo registrator

The previous behaviour of swallowing ClassNotFound exceptions when running a custom Kryo registrator could lead to difficult to debug problems later on at serialisation / deserialisation time, see SPARK-2878.  Instead it is better to fail fast.

Added test case.

[SPARK-2927][SQL] Add a conf to configure if we always read Binary columns stored in Parquet as String columns

This PR adds a new conf flag `spark.sql.parquet.binaryAsString`. When it is `true`, if there is no parquet metadata file available to provide the schema of the data, we will always treat binary fields stored in parquet as string fields. This conf is used to provide a way to read string fields generated without UTF8 decoration.

[SPARK-2979][MLlib] Improve the convergence rate by minimizing the condition number

In theory, the scale of your inputs are irrelevant to logistic regression.
You can "theoretically" multiply X1 by 1E6 and the estimate for β1 will
adjust accordingly. It will be 1E-6 times smaller than the original β1, due
to the invariance property of MLEs.

However, during the optimization process, the convergence (rate)
depends on the condition number of the training dataset. Scaling
the variables often reduces this condition number, thus improving
the convergence rate.

Without reducing the condition number, some training datasets
mixing the columns with different scales may not be able to converge.

GLMNET and LIBSVM packages perform the scaling to reduce
the condition number, and return the weights in the original scale.
See page 9 in http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/glmnet/glmnet.pdf

Here, if useFeatureScaling is enabled, we will standardize the training
features by dividing the variance of each column (without subtracting
the mean to densify the sparse vector), and train the model in the
scaled space. Then we transform the coefficients from the scaled space
to the original scale as GLMNET and LIBSVM do.

Currently, it's only enabled in LogisticRegressionWithLBFGS.

[SPARK-2936] Migrate Netty network module from Java to Scala

The Netty network module was originally written when Scala 2.9.x had a bug that prevents a pure Scala implementation, and a subset of the files were done in Java. We have since upgraded to Scala 2.10, and can migrate all Java files now to Scala.

[SPARK-2468] Netty based block server / client module

This is a rewrite of the original Netty module that was added about 1.5 years ago. The old code was turned off by default and didn't really work because it lacked a frame decoder (only worked with very very small blocks).

For this pull request, I tried to make the changes non-instrusive to the rest of Spark. I only added an init and shutdown to BlockManager/DiskBlockManager, and a bunch of comments to help me understand the existing code base.

Compared with the old Netty module, this one features:
- It appears to work :)
- SPARK-2941: option to specicy nio vs oio vs epoll for channel/transport. By default nio is used. (Not using Epoll yet because I have found some bugs with its implementation)
- SPARK-2943: options to specify send buf and receive buf for users who want to do hyper tuning
- SPARK-2942: io errors are reported from server to client (the protocol uses negative length to indicate error)
- SPARK-2940: fetching multiple blocks in a single request to reduce syscalls
- SPARK-2959: clients share a single thread pool
- SPARK-2990: use PooledByteBufAllocator to reduce GC (basically a Netty managed pool of buffers with jmalloc)
- SPARK-2625: added fetchWaitTime metric and fixed thread-safety issue in metrics update.
- SPARK-2367: bump Netty version to 4.0.21.Final to address an Epoll bug (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/netty/O7m-HxCJpCA)

Compared with the existing communication manager, this one features:
- IMO it is substantially easier to understand
- zero-copy send for the server for on-disk blocks
- one-copy receive (due to a frame decoder)
- don't quote me on this, but I think a lot less sys calls
- SPARK-2990: use PooledByteBufAllocator to reduce GC (basically a Netty managed pool of buffers with jmalloc)
- SPARK-2941: option to specicy nio vs oio vs epoll for channel/transport. By default nio is used. (Not using Epoll yet because I have found some bugs with its implementation)
- SPARK-2943: options to specify send buf and receive buf for users who want to do hyper tuning

TODOs before it can fully replace the existing ConnectionManager, if that ever happens (most of them should probably be done in separate PRs since this needs to be turned on explicitly)
- [x] Basic test cases
- [ ] More unit/integration tests for failures
- [ ] Performance analysis
- [ ] Support client connection reuse so we don't need to keep opening new connections (not sure how useful this would be)
- [ ] Support putting blocks in addition to fetching blocks (i.e. two way transfer)
- [x] Support serving non-disk blocks
- [ ] Support SASL authentication
