The Pyrolite is pretty slow (comparing to the adhoc serializer in 1.1), it cause much performance regression in 1.2, because we cache the serialized Python object in JVM, deserialize them into Java object in each step.

This PR change to cache the deserialized JavaRDD instead of PythonRDD to avoid the deserialization of Pyrolite. It should have similar memory usage as before, but much faster.

Create several helper functions to call MLlib Java API, convert the arguments to Java type and convert return value to Python object automatically, this simplify serialization in MLlib Python API very much.

After this, the MLlib Python API does not need to deal with serialization details anymore, it's easier to add new API.

Customized pickler should be registered before unpickling, but in executor, there is no way to register the picklers before run the tasks.

So, we need to register the picklers in the tasks itself, duplicate the javaToPython() and pythonToJava() in MLlib, call SerDe.initialize() before pickling or unpickling.

Currently, we serialize the data between JVM and Python case by case manually, this cannot scale to support so many APIs in MLlib.

This patch will try to address this problem by serialize the data using pickle protocol, using Pyrolite library to serialize/deserialize in JVM. Pickle protocol can be easily extended to support customized class.

All the modules are refactored to use this protocol.

Known issues: There will be some performance regression (both CPU and memory, the serialized data increased)

As described in [SPARK-2627](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2627), we'd like Python code to automatically be checked for PEP 8 compliance by Jenkins. This pull request aims to do that.

Notes:
* We may need to install [`pep8`](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep8) on the build server.
* I'm expecting tests to fail now that PEP 8 compliance is being checked as part of the build. I'm fine with cleaning up any remaining PEP 8 violations as part of this pull request.
* I did not understand why the RAT and scalastyle reports are saved to text files. I did the same for the PEP 8 check, but only so that the console output style can match those for the RAT and scalastyle checks. The PEP 8 report is removed right after the check is complete.
* Updates to the ["Contributing to Spark"](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Contributing+to+Spark) guide will be submitted elsewhere, as I don't believe that text is part of the Spark repo.

848416f [Reynold Xin] Fixed a typo in the previous cleanup (c -> sc).
a8db4cd [Reynold Xin] Fix PEP8 violations in Python mllib.

This PR adds a SparseVector class in PySpark and updates all the regression, classification and clustering algorithms and models to support sparse data, similar to MLlib. I chose to add this class because SciPy is quite difficult to install in many environments (more so than NumPy), but I plan to add support for SciPy sparse vectors later too, and make the methods work transparently on objects of either type.

On the Scala side, we keep Python sparse vectors sparse and pass them to MLlib. We always return dense vectors from our models.

Some to-do items left:
- [x] Support SciPy's scipy.sparse matrix objects when SciPy is available. We can easily add a function to convert these to our own SparseVector.
- [x] MLlib currently uses a vector with one extra column on the left to represent what we call LabeledPoint in Scala. Do we really want this? It may get annoying once you deal with sparse data since you must add/subtract 1 to each feature index when training. We can remove this API in 1.0 and use tuples for labeling.
- [x] Explain how to use these in the Python MLlib docs.
