[SPARK-2995][MLLIB] add ALS.setIntermediateRDDStorageLevel

As mentioned in SPARK-2465, using `MEMORY_AND_DISK_SER` for user/product in/out links together with `spark.rdd.compress=true` can help reduce the space requirement by a lot, at the cost of speed. It might be useful to add this option so people can run ALS on much bigger datasets.

Another option for the method name is `setIntermediateRDDStorageLevel`.

[SPARK-3029] Disable local execution of Spark jobs by default

Currently, local execution of Spark jobs is only used by take(), and it can be problematic as it can load a significant amount of data onto the driver. The worst case scenarios occur if the RDD is cached (guaranteed to load whole partition), has very large elements, or the partition is just large and we apply a filter with high selectivity or computational overhead.

Additionally, jobs that run locally in this manner do not show up in the web UI, and are thus harder to track or understand what is occurring.

This PR adds a flag to disable local execution, which is turned OFF by default, with the intention of perhaps eventually removing this functionality altogether. Removing it now is a tougher proposition since it is part of the public runJob API. An alternative solution would be to limit the flag to take()/first() to avoid impacting any external users of this API, but such usage (or, at least, reliance upon the feature) is hopefully minimal.

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.
