[SPARK-4614][MLLIB] Slight API changes in Matrix and Matrices

Before we have a full picture of the operators we want to add, it might be safer to hide `Matrix.transposeMultiply` in 1.2.0. Another update we want to change is `Matrix.randn` and `Matrix.rand`, both of which should take a `Random` implementation. Otherwise, it is very likely to produce inconsistent RDDs. I also added some unit tests for matrix factory methods. All APIs are new in 1.2, so there is no incompatible changes.

Closes #3468 from mengxr/SPARK-4614 and squashes the following commits:

3b0e4e2 [Xiangrui Meng] add mima excludes
6bfd8a4 [Xiangrui Meng] hide transposeMultiply; add rng to rand and randn; add unit tests
