This patch changes Spark's build to make Scala 2.11 the default Scala version. To be clear, this does not mean that Spark will stop supporting Scala 2.10: users will still be able to compile Spark for Scala 2.10 by following the instructions on the "Building Spark" page; however, it does mean that Scala 2.11 will be the default Scala version used by our CI builds (including pull request builds).

The Scala 2.11 compiler is faster than 2.10, so I think we'll be able to look forward to a slight speedup in our CI builds (it looks like it's about 2X faster for the Maven compile-only builds, for instance).

After this patch is merged, I'll update Jenkins to add new compile-only jobs to ensure that Scala 2.10 compilation doesn't break.
