[SPARK-3169] Removed dependency on spark streaming test from spark flume sink

Due to maven bug https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1378, maven could not resolve spark streaming classes required by the spark-streaming test-jar dependency of external/flume-sink. There is no particular reason that the external/flume-sink has to depend on Spark Streaming at all, so I am eliminating this dependency. Also I have removed the exclusions present in the Flume dependencies, as there is no reason to exclude them (they were excluded in the external/flume module to prevent dependency collisions with Spark).

Since Jenkins will test the sbt build and the unit test, I only tested maven compilation locally.

[SPARK-2963] REGRESSION - The description about how to build for using CLI and Thrift JDBC server is absent in proper document  -

The most important things I mentioned in #1885 is as follows.

* People who build Spark is not always programmer.
* If a person who build Spark is not a programmer, he/she won't read programmer's guide before building.

So, how to build for using CLI and JDBC server is not only in programmer's guide.

[SPARK-2871] [PySpark] add approx API for RDD

RDD.countApprox(self, timeout, confidence=0.95)

        :: Experimental ::
        Approximate version of count() that returns a potentially incomplete
        result within a timeout, even if not all tasks have finished.

        >>> rdd = sc.parallelize(range(1000), 10)
        >>> rdd.countApprox(1000, 1.0)
        1000

RDD.sumApprox(self, timeout, confidence=0.95)

        Approximate operation to return the sum within a timeout
        or meet the confidence.

        >>> rdd = sc.parallelize(range(1000), 10)
        >>> r = sum(xrange(1000))
        >>> (rdd.sumApprox(1000) - r) / r < 0.05

RDD.meanApprox(self, timeout, confidence=0.95)

        :: Experimental ::
        Approximate operation to return the mean within a timeout
        or meet the confidence.

        >>> rdd = sc.parallelize(range(1000), 10)
        >>> r = sum(xrange(1000)) / 1000.0
        >>> (rdd.meanApprox(1000) - r) / r < 0.05
