[SPARK-2088] fix NPE in toString

After deserialization, the transient field creationSiteInfo does not get backfilled with the default value, but the toString method, which is invoked by the serializer, expects the field to always be non-null. An NPE is thrown when toString is called by the serializer when creationSiteInfo is null.

[SPARK-2080] Yarn: report HS URL in client mode, correct user in cluster mode.

Yarn client mode was not setting the app's tracking URL to the
History Server's URL when configured by the user. Now client mode
behaves the same as cluster mode.

In SparkContext.scala, the "user.name" system property had precedence
over the SPARK_USER environment variable. This means that SPARK_USER
was never used, since "user.name" is always set by the JVM. In Yarn
cluster mode, this means the application always reported itself as
being run by user "yarn" (or whatever user was running the Yarn NM).
One could argue that the correct fix would be to use UGI.getCurrentUser()
here, but at least for Yarn that will match what SPARK_USER is set
to.

SPARK-1843: Replace assemble-deps with env variable.

(This change is actually small, I moved some logic into
compute-classpath that was previously in spark-class).

Assemble deps has existed for a while to allow developers to
run local code with new changes quickly. When I'm developing I
typically use a simpler approach which just prepends the Spark
classes to the classpath before the assembly jar. This is well
defined in the JVM and the Spark classes take precedence over those
in the assembly.

This approach is portable across both builds which is the main reason I'd
like to switch to it. It's also a bit easier to toggle on and off quickly.

The way you use this is the following:
```
$ ./bin/spark-shell # Use spark with the normal assembly
$ export SPARK_PREPEND_CLASSES=true
$ ./bin/spark-shell # Now it's using compiled classes
$ unset SPARK_PREPEND_CLASSES
$ ./bin/spark-shell # Back to normal
```

SPARK-2085: [MLlib] Apply user-specific regularization instead of uniform regularization in ALS

The current implementation of ALS takes a single regularization parameter and apply it on both of the user factors and the product factors. This kind of regularization can be less effective while user number is significantly larger than the number of products (and vice versa). For example, if we have 10M users and 1K product, regularization on user factors will dominate. Following the discussion in [this thread](http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/possible-bug-in-Spark-s-ALS-implementation-tt2567.html#a2704), the implementation in this PR will regularize each factor vector by #ratings * lambda.

SPARK-1939 Refactor takeSample method in RDD to use ScaSRS

Modified the takeSample method in RDD to use the ScaSRS sampling technique to improve performance. Added a private method that computes sampling rate > sample_size/total to ensure sufficient sample size with success rate >= 0.9999. Added a unit test for the private method to validate choice of sampling rate.

[SPARK-1516]Throw exception in yarn client instead of run system.exit directly.

All the changes is in  the package of "org.apache.spark.deploy.yarn":
    1) Throw exception in ClinetArguments and ClientBase instead of exit directly.
    2) in Client's main method, if exception is caught, it will exit with code 1, otherwise exit with code 0.

After the fix, if user integrate the spark yarn client into their applications, when the argument is wrong or the running is finished, the application won't be terminated.
