[SPARK-4397][Core] Reorganize 'implicit's to improve the API convenience

This PR moved `implicit`s to `package object` and `companion object` to enable the Scala compiler search them automatically without explicit importing.

It should not break any API. A test project for backforward compatibility is [here](https://github.com/zsxwing/SPARK-4397-Backforward-Compatibility). It proves the codes compiled with Spark 1.1.0 can run with this PR.

To summarize, the changes are:

* Deprecated the old implicit conversion functions: this preserves binary compatibility for code compiled against earlier versions of Spark.
* Removed "implicit" from them so they are just normal functions: this made sure the compiler doesn't get confused and warn about multiple implicits in scope.
* Created new implicit functions in package rdd object, which is part of the scope that scalac will search when looking for implicit conversions on various RDD objects.

The disadvantage is there are duplicated codes in SparkContext for backforward compatibility.
