This pull request adds a Scalastyle regex rule which fails the style check if `Class.forName` is used directly. `Class.forName` always loads classes from the default / system classloader, but in a majority of cases, we should be using Spark's own `Utils.classForName` instead, which tries to load classes from the current thread's context classloader and falls back to the classloader which loaded Spark when the context classloader is not defined. <!-- Reviewable:start --> [<img src="https://reviewable.io/review_button.png" height=40 alt="Review on Reviewable"/>](https://reviewable.io/reviews/apache/spark/7350) <!-- Reviewable:end --> Author: Josh Rosen <joshrosen@databricks.com> Closes #7350 from JoshRosen/ban-Class.forName and squashes the following commits: e3e96f7 [Josh Rosen] Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/master' into ban-Class.forName c0b7885 [Josh Rosen] Hopefully fix the last two cases d707ba7 [Josh Rosen] Fix uses of Class.forName that I missed in my first cleanup pass 046470d [Josh Rosen] Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/master' into ban-Class.forName 62882ee [Josh Rosen] Fix uses of Class.forName or add exclusion. d9abade [Josh Rosen] Add stylechecker rule to ban uses of Class.forName
