[HOTFIX] Do not throw NPE if spark.test.home is not set

`spark.test.home` was introduced in #1734. This is fine for SBT but is failing maven tests. Either way it shouldn't throw an NPE.

[SPARK-2478] [mllib] DecisionTree Python API

Added experimental Python API for Decision Trees.

API:
* class DecisionTreeModel
** predict() for single examples and RDDs, taking both feature vectors and LabeledPoints
** numNodes()
** depth()
** __str__()
* class DecisionTree
** trainClassifier()
** trainRegressor()
** train()

Examples and testing:
* Added example testing classification and regression with batch prediction: examples/src/main/python/mllib/tree.py
* Have also tested example usage in doc of python/pyspark/mllib/tree.py which tests single-example prediction with dense and sparse vectors

Also: Small bug fix in python/pyspark/mllib/_common.py: In _linear_predictor_typecheck, changed check for RDD to use isinstance() instead of type() in order to catch RDD subclasses.

[SQL] Set outputPartitioning of BroadcastHashJoin correctly.

I think we will not generate the plan triggering this bug at this moment. But, let me explain it...

Right now, we are using `left.outputPartitioning` as the `outputPartitioning` of a `BroadcastHashJoin`. We may have a wrong physical plan for cases like...
```sql
SELECT l.key, count(*)
FROM (SELECT key, count(*) as cnt
      FROM src
      GROUP BY key) l // This is buildPlan
JOIN r // This is the streamedPlan
ON (l.cnt = r.value)
GROUP BY l.key
```
Let's say we have a `BroadcastHashJoin` on `l` and `r`. For this case, we will pick `l`'s `outputPartitioning` for the `outputPartitioning`of the `BroadcastHashJoin` on `l` and `r`. Also, because the last `GROUP BY` is using `l.key` as the key, we will not introduce an `Exchange` for this aggregation. However, `r`'s outputPartitioning may not match the required distribution of the last `GROUP BY` and we fail to group data correctly.

JIRA is being reindexed. I will create a JIRA ticket once it is back online.

[SPARK-2097][SQL] UDF Support

This patch adds the ability to register lambda functions written in Python, Java or Scala as UDFs for use in SQL or HiveQL.

Scala:
```scala
registerFunction("strLenScala", (_: String).length)
sql("SELECT strLenScala('test')")
```
Python:
```python
sqlCtx.registerFunction("strLenPython", lambda x: len(x), IntegerType())
sqlCtx.sql("SELECT strLenPython('test')")
```
Java:
```java
sqlContext.registerFunction("stringLengthJava", new UDF1<String, Integer>() {
  Override
  public Integer call(String str) throws Exception {
    return str.length();
  }
}, DataType.IntegerType);

sqlContext.sql("SELECT stringLengthJava('test')");
