[SPARK-2478] [mllib] DecisionTree Python API

Added experimental Python API for Decision Trees.

API:
* class DecisionTreeModel
** predict() for single examples and RDDs, taking both feature vectors and LabeledPoints
** numNodes()
** depth()
** __str__()
* class DecisionTree
** trainClassifier()
** trainRegressor()
** train()

Examples and testing:
* Added example testing classification and regression with batch prediction: examples/src/main/python/mllib/tree.py
* Have also tested example usage in doc of python/pyspark/mllib/tree.py which tests single-example prediction with dense and sparse vectors

Also: Small bug fix in python/pyspark/mllib/_common.py: In _linear_predictor_typecheck, changed check for RDD to use isinstance() instead of type() in order to catch RDD subclasses.

Closes #1727 from jkbradley/decisiontree-python-new and squashes the following commits:

3744488 [Joseph K. Bradley] Renamed test tree.py to decision_tree_runner.py Small updates based on github review.
6b86a9d [Joseph K. Bradley] Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master' into decisiontree-python-new
affceb9 [Joseph K. Bradley] * Fixed bug in doc tests in pyspark/mllib/util.py caused by change in loadLibSVMFile behavior.  (It used to threshold labels at 0 to make them 0/1, but it now leaves them as they are.) * Fixed small bug in loadLibSVMFile: If a data file had no features, then loadLibSVMFile would create a single all-zero feature.
67a29bc [Joseph K. Bradley] Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master' into decisiontree-python-new
cf46ad7 [Joseph K. Bradley] Python DecisionTreeModel * predict(empty RDD) returns an empty RDD instead of an error. * Removed support for calling predict() on LabeledPoint and RDD[LabeledPoint] * predict() does not cache serialized RDD any more.
aa29873 [Joseph K. Bradley] Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master' into decisiontree-python-new
bf21be4 [Joseph K. Bradley] removed old run() func from DecisionTree
fa10ea7 [Joseph K. Bradley] Small style update
7968692 [Joseph K. Bradley] small braces typo fix
e34c263 [Joseph K. Bradley] Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master' into decisiontree-python-new

db0eab2 [Joseph K. Bradley] Merge branch 'decisiontree-bugfix2' into decisiontree-python-new
6873fa9 [Joseph K. Bradley] Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master' into decisiontree-python-new
225822f [Joseph K. Bradley] Bug: In DecisionTree, the method sequentialBinSearchForOrderedCategoricalFeatureInClassification() indexed bins from 0 to (math.pow(2, featureCategories.toInt - 1) - 1). This upper bound is the bound for unordered categorical features, not ordered ones. The upper bound should be the arity (i.e., max value) of the feature.
93953f1 [Joseph K. Bradley] Likely done with Python API.

6eed482 [Joseph K. Bradley] In DecisionTree: Changed from using procedural syntax for functions returning Unit to explicitly writing Unit return type.
376dca2 [Joseph K. Bradley] Updated meaning of maxDepth by 1 to fit scikit-learn and rpart. * In code, replaced usages of maxDepth <-- maxDepth + 1 * In params, replace settings of maxDepth <-- maxDepth - 1

bab3f19 [Joseph K. Bradley] Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master' into decisiontree-python-new
59750f8 [Joseph K. Bradley] * Updated Strategy to check numClassesForClassification only if algo=Classification. * Updates based on comments: ** DecisionTreeRunner *** Made dataFormat arg default to libsvm ** Small cleanups ** tree.Node: Made recursive helper methods private, and renamed them.
