[SPARK-4546] Improve HistoryServer first time user experience

The documentation points the user to run the following
```
sbin/start-history-server.sh
```
The first thing this does is throw an exception that complains a log directory is not specified. The exception message itself does not say anything about what to set. Instead we should have a default and a landing page with a better message. The new default log directory is `file:/tmp/spark-events`.

This is what it looks like as of this PR:

Hmm... if the default path doesn't exist, won't this throw? Then you'd get in the same situation you're trying to fix, no?
