[Spark 2557] fix LOCAL_N_REGEX in createTaskScheduler and make local-n and local-n-failures consistent

[SPARK-2557](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2557)

Author: Ye Xianjin <advancedxy@gmail.com>

Closes #1464 from advancedxy/SPARK-2557 and squashes the following commits:

d844d67 [Ye Xianjin] add local-*-n-failures, bad-local-n, bad-local-n-failures test case
3bbc668 [Ye Xianjin] fix LOCAL_N_REGEX regular expression and make local_n_failures accept * as all cores on the computer
