[SPARK-10497] [BUILD] [TRIVIAL] Handle both locations for JIRAError with python-jira

Location of JIRAError has moved between old and new versions of python-jira package.
Longer term it probably makes sense to pin to specific versions (as mentioned in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-10498 ) but for now, making release tools works with both new and old versions of python-jira.
