[SPARK-10916] [YARN] Set perm gen size when launching containers on YARN.

This makes YARN containers behave like all other processes launched by
Spark, which launch with a default perm gen size of 256m unless
overridden by the user (or not needed by the vm).

Author: Marcelo Vanzin <vanzin@cloudera.com>

Closes #8970 from vanzin/SPARK-10916.
