An initial API that exposes SparkSQL functionality in PySpark. A PythonRDD composed of dictionaries, with string keys and primitive values (boolean, float, int, long, string) can be converted into a SchemaRDD that supports sql queries.

```
from pyspark.context import SQLContext
sqlCtx = SQLContext(sc)
rdd = sc.parallelize([{"field1" : 1, "field2" : "row1"}, {"field1" : 2, "field2": "row2"}, {"field1" : 3, "field2": "row3"}])
srdd = sqlCtx.applySchema(rdd)
sqlCtx.registerRDDAsTable(srdd, "table1")
srdd2 = sqlCtx.sql("SELECT field1 AS f1, field2 as f2 from table1")
srdd2.collect()
```
The last line yields ```[{"f1" : 1, "f2" : "row1"}, {"f1" : 2, "f2": "row2"}, {"f1" : 3, "f2": "row3"}]```

(Continued from old repo, prior discussion at https://github.com/apache/incubator-spark/pull/615)

This patch cements our deprecation of the SPARK_MEM environment variable by replacing it with three more specialized variables:
SPARK_DAEMON_MEMORY, SPARK_EXECUTOR_MEMORY, and SPARK_DRIVER_MEMORY

The creation of the latter two variables means that we can safely set driver/job memory without accidentally setting the executor memory. Neither is public.

SPARK_EXECUTOR_MEMORY is only used by the Mesos scheduler (and set within SparkContext). The proper way of configuring executor memory is through the "spark.executor.memory" property.

SPARK_DRIVER_MEMORY is the new way of specifying the amount of memory run by jobs launched by spark-class, without possibly affecting executor memory.

Other memory considerations:
- The repl's memory can be set through the "--drivermem" command-line option, which really just sets SPARK_DRIVER_MEMORY.
- run-example doesn't use spark-class, so the only way to modify examples' memory is actually an unusual use of SPARK_JAVA_OPTS (which is normally overriden in all cases by spark-class).

This patch also fixes a lurking bug where spark-shell misused spark-class (the first argument is supposed to be the main class name, not java options), as well as a bug in the Windows spark-class2.cmd. I have not yet tested this patch on either Windows or Mesos, however.

This commit makes Spark invocation saner by using an assembly JAR to
find all of Spark's dependencies instead of adding all the JARs in
lib_managed. It also packages the examples into an assembly and uses
that as SPARK_EXAMPLES_JAR. Finally, it replaces the old "run" script
with two better-named scripts: "run-examples" for examples, and
"spark-class" for Spark internal classes (e.g. REPL, master, etc). This
is also designed to minimize the confusion people have in trying to use
"run" to run their own classes; it's not meant to do that, but now at
least if they look at it, they can modify run-examples to do a decent
job for them.

As part of this, Bagel's examples are also now properly moved to the
examples package instead of bagel.

This addresses SPARK-885, a usability issue where PySpark's
Java gateway process would be killed if the user hit ctrl-c.

Note that SIGINT still won't cancel the running s

This fix is based on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5045771

- Bundle Py4J binaries, since it's hard to install
- Uses Spark's `run` script to launch the Py4J
  gateway, inheriting the settings in spark-env.sh

With these changes, (hopefully) nothing more than
running `sbt/sbt package` will be necessary to run
PySpark.

Objects serialized with JSON can be compared for equality, but JSON can be slow
to serialize and only supports a limited range of data types.
