Title: [SPARK-1092] remove SPARK_MEM usage in sparkcontext.scala

https://spark-project.atlassian.net/browse/SPARK-1092?jql=project%20%3D%20SPARK

Currently, users will usually set SPARK_MEM to control the memory usage of driver programs, (in spark-class)
91 JAVA_OPTS="$OUR_JAVA_OPTS"
92 JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.library.path=$SPARK_LIBRARY_PATH"
93 JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xms$SPARK_MEM -Xmx$SPARK_MEM"
if they didn't set spark.executor.memory, the value in this environment variable will also affect the memory usage of executors, because the following lines in SparkContext
privatespark val executorMemory = conf.getOption("spark.executor.memory")
.orElse(Option(System.getenv("SPARK_MEM")))
.map(Utils.memoryStringToMb)
.getOrElse(512)
also
since SPARK_MEM has been (proposed to) deprecated in SPARK-929 (https://spark-project.atlassian.net/browse/SPARK-929) and the corresponding PR (https://github.com/apache/incubator-spark/pull/104)
we should remove this line
