## What's Been Changed

The PR corrects several broken or missing class references in the Python API docs. It also correct formatting problems.

For example, you can see [here](http://spark.apache.org/docs/2.0.0/api/python/pyspark.sql.html#pyspark.sql.SQLContext.registerFunction) how Sphinx is not picking up the reference to `DataType`. That's because the reference is relative to the current module, whereas `DataType` is in a different module.

You can also see [here](http://spark.apache.org/docs/2.0.0/api/python/pyspark.sql.html#pyspark.sql.SQLContext.createDataFrame) how the formatting for byte, tinyint, and so on is italic instead of monospace. That's because in ReST single backticks just make things italic, unlike in Markdown.

## Testing

I tested this PR by [building the Python docs](https://github.com/apache/spark/tree/master/docs#generating-the-documentation-html) and reviewing the results locally in my browser. I confirmed that the broken or missing class references were resolved, and that the formatting was corrected.
