Keep the same naming conventions for PythonMLLibAPI.
Only the following three functions is different from others
```scala
trainNaiveBayes
trainGaussianMixture
trainWord2Vec
```
So change them to
```scala
trainNaiveBayesModel
trainGaussianMixtureModel
trainWord2VecModel
```
It does not affect any users and public APIs, only to make better understand for developer and code hacker.

This PR try to speed up some python tests:

```
tests.py                       144s -> 103s      -41s
mllib/classification.py         24s -> 17s        -7s
mllib/regression.py             27s -> 15s       -12s
mllib/tree.py                   27s -> 13s       -14s
mllib/tests.py                  64s -> 31s       -33s
streaming/tests.py             185s -> 84s      -101s
```
Considering python3, the total saving will be 558s (almost 10 minutes) (core, and streaming run three times, mllib runs twice).

During testing, it will show used time for each test file:
```
Run core tests ...
Running test: pyspark/rdd.py ... ok (22s)
Running test: pyspark/context.py ... ok (16s)
Running test: pyspark/conf.py ... ok (4s)

Python API parity check for classification and multiclass classification support, major disparities need to be added for Python:
```scala
LogisticRegressionWithLBFGS
    setNumClasses
    setValidateData
LogisticRegressionModel
    getThreshold
    numClasses
    numFeatures
SVMWithSGD
    setValidateData
SVMModel
    getThreshold
```
For users the greatest benefit in this PR is multiclass classification was supported by Python API.
Users can train multiclass classification model and use it to predict in pyspark.

Currently LogisticRegressionWithLBFGS in python/pyspark/mllib/classification.py will invoke callMLlibFunc with a wrong "regType" parameter.
It was assigned to "str(regType)" which translate None(Python) to "None"(Java/Scala). The right way should be translate None(Python) to null(Java/Scala) just as what we did at LogisticRegressionWithSGD.

The current default regParam is 1.0 and regType is claimed to be none in Python (but actually it is l2), while regParam = 0.0 and regType is L2 in Scala. We should make the default values consistent. This PR sets the default regType to L2 and regParam to 0.01. Note that the default regParam value in LIBLINEAR (and hence scikit-learn) is 1.0. However, we use average loss instead of total loss in our formulation. Hence regParam=1.0 is definitely too heavy.

In LinearRegression, we set regParam=0.0 and regType=None, because we have separate classes for Lasso and Ridge, both of which use regParam=0.01 as the default.

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.

6f65661 [cocoatomo] [SPARK-3773][PySpark][Doc] Sphinx build warning

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.

fcbe3bc [Xusen Yin] fix bugs of dot in python

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.

In PR https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/117, we added dense/sparse vector data model and updated KMeans to support sparse input. This PR is to replace all other `Array[Double]` usage by `Vector` in generalized linear models (GLMs) and Naive Bayes. Major changes:

1. `LabeledPoint` becomes `LabeledPoint(Double, Vector)`.
2. Methods that accept `RDD[Array[Double]]` now accept `RDD[Vector]`. We cannot support both in an elegant way because of type erasure.
3. Mark 'createModel' and 'predictPoint' protected because they are not for end users.
4. Add libSVMFile to MLContext.
5. NaiveBayes can accept arbitrary labels (introducing a breaking change to Python's `NaiveBayesModel`).
6. Gradient computation no longer creates temp vectors.
7. Column normalization and centering are removed from Lasso and Ridge because the operation will densify the data. Simple feature transformation can be done before training.

TODO:
1. ~~Use axpy when possible.~~
2. ~~Optimize Naive Bayes.~~

We've used camel case in other Spark methods so it felt reasonable to
keep using it here and make the code match Scala/Java as much as
possible. Note that parameter names matter in Python because it allows
passing optional parameters by name.

- Added a Python wrapper for Naive Bayes
- Updated the Scala Naive Bayes to match the style of our other
  algorithms better and in particular make it easier to call from Java
  (added builder pattern, removed default value in train method)
- Updated Python MLlib functions to not require a SparkContext; we can
  get that from the RDD the user gives
- Added a toString method in LabeledPoint
- Made the Python MLlib tests run as part of run-tests as well (before
  they could only be run individually through each file)
