Fix broken Json tests.

The assertJsonStringEquals method was missing an "assert" so
did not actually check that the strings were equal. This commit
adds the missing assert and fixes subsequently revealed problems
with the JsonProtocolSuite.

@andrewor14 I changed some of the test functionality to match what it
looks like you intended based on the expected strings -- let me know if
anything here looks wrong.

[SPARK-1112, 2156] Bootstrap to fetch the driver's Spark properties.

This is an alternative solution to #1124 . Before launching the executor backend, we first fetch driver's spark properties and use it to overwrite executor's spark properties. This should be better than #1124.

@pwendell Are there spark properties that might be different on the driver and on the executors?

[SPARK-2242] HOTFIX: pyspark shell hangs on simple job

This reverts a change introduced in 3870248740d83b0292ccca88a494ce19783847f0, which redirected all stderr to the OS pipe instead of directly to the `bin/pyspark` shell output. This causes a simple job to hang in two ways:

1. If the cluster is not configured correctly or does not have enough resources, the job hangs without producing any output, because the relevant warning messages are masked.
2. If the stderr volume is large, this could lead to a deadlock if we redirect everything to the OS pipe. From the [python docs](https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html):

```
Note Do not use stdout=PIPE or stderr=PIPE with this function as that can deadlock
based on the child process output volume. Use Popen with the communicate() method
when you need pipes.
```

Note that we cannot remove `stdout=PIPE` in a similar way, because we currently use it to communicate the py4j port. However, it should be fine (as it has been for a long time) because we do not produce a ton of traffic through `stdout`.

That commit was not merged in branch-1.0, so this fix is for master only.
