Subject: [PATCH] [SPARK-9718] [ML] linear regression training summary all
 columns

LinearRegression training summary: The transformed dataset should hold all columns, not just selected ones like prediction and label. There is no real need to remove some, and the user may find them useful.

Author: Holden Karau <holden@pigscanfly.ca>

Closes #8564 from holdenk/SPARK-9718-LinearRegressionTrainingSummary-all-columns.
