Expose user/item factors in DataFrames. This is to be more consistent with the pipeline API. It also helps maintain consistent APIs across languages. This PR also removed fitting params from `ALSModel`.

1ba5607 [Xiangrui Meng] use DataFrames for user/item factors in ALS

This PR update PySpark to support Python 3 (tested with 3.4).

Known issue: unpickle array from Pyrolite is broken in Python 3, those tests are skipped.

TODO: ec2/spark-ec2.py is not fully tested with python3.

For SPARK-5867:
* The spark.ml programming guide needs to be updated to use the new SQL DataFrame API instead of the old SchemaRDD API.
* It should also include Python examples now.

For SPARK-5892:
* Fix Python docs
* Various other cleanups

It will introduce problems if the object in dict/list/tuple can not support by py4j, such as Vector.
Also, pickle may have better performance for larger object (less RPC).

In some cases that the object in dict/list can not be pickled (such as JavaObject), we should still use MapConvert/ListConvert.

This PR should be ported into branch-1.2

55d4ab2 [Davies Liu] fix MapConverter and ListConverter in MLlib

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.

pyspark.mllib.stat.StatisticschiSqTest(observed, expected=None)
    :: Experimental ::

    If `observed` is Vector, conduct Pearson's chi-squared goodness
    of fit test of the observed data against the expected distribution,
    or againt the uniform distribution (by default), with each category
    having an expected frequency of `1 / len(observed)`.
    (Note: `observed` cannot contain negative values)

    If `observed` is matrix, conduct Pearson's independence test on the
    input contingency matrix, which cannot contain negative entries or
    columns or rows that sum up to 0.

    If `observed` is an RDD of LabeledPoint, conduct Pearson's independence
    test for every feature against the label across the input RDD.
    For each feature, the (feature, label) pairs are converted into a
    contingency matrix for which the chi-squared statistic is computed.
    All label and feature values must be categorical.

    :param observed: it could be a vector containing the observed categorical
                     counts/relative frequencies, or the contingency matrix
                     (containing either counts or relative frequencies),
                     or an RDD of LabeledPoint containing the labeled dataset
                     with categorical features. Real-valued features will be
                     treated as categorical for each distinct value.
    :param expected: Vector containing the expected categorical counts/relative
                     frequencies. `expected` is rescaled if the `expected` sum
                     differs from the `observed` sum.
    :return: ChiSquaredTest object containing the test statistic, degrees
             of freedom, p-value, the method used, and the null hypothesis.

8d77ef2 [Davies Liu] simplify serializer, use AutoBatchedSerializer by 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.
