[SPARK-1701] Clarify slice vs partition in the programming guide

This is a partial solution to SPARK-1701, only addressing the
documentation confusion.

Additional work can be to actually change the numSlices parameter name
across languages, with care required for scala & python to maintain
backward compatibility for named parameters.

[SPARK-3491] [MLlib] [PySpark] use pickle to serialize data in MLlib

Currently, we serialize the data between JVM and Python case by case manually, this cannot scale to support so many APIs in MLlib.

This patch will try to address this problem by serialize the data using pickle protocol, using Pyrolite library to serialize/deserialize in JVM. Pickle protocol can be easily extended to support customized class.

All the modules are refactored to use this protocol.

Known issues: There will be some performance regression (both CPU and memory, the serialized data increased)

[SPARK-2594][SQL] Support CACHE TABLE <name> AS SELECT ...

This feature allows user to add cache table from the select query.
Example : ```CACHE TABLE testCacheTable AS SELECT * FROM TEST_TABLE```
Spark takes this type of SQL as command and it does lazy caching just like ```SQLContext.cacheTable```, ```CACHE TABLE <name>``` does.
It can be executed from both SQLContext and HiveContext.

Recreated the pull request after rebasing with master.And fixed all the comments raised in previous pull requests.

[SPARK-3485][SQL] Use GenericUDFUtils.ConversionHelper for Simple UDF type conversions

This is just another solution to SPARK-3485, in addition to PR #2355
In this patch, we will use ConventionHelper and FunctionRegistry to invoke a simple udf evaluation, which rely more on hive, but much cleaner and safer.
We can discuss which one is better.

[Build] Fix passing of args to sbt

Simple mistake, simple fix:

sbt "$args"  # sbt sees 1 argument
```

Should fix the problems we are seeing [here](https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/jenkins/job/Spark-Master-SBT/694/AMPLAB_JENKINS_BUILD_PROFILE=hadoop1.0,label=centos/console), for example.
