Title: 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.
