[SPARK-16202][SQL][DOC] Follow-up to Correct The Description of CreatableRelationProvider's createRelation

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Follow-up to SPARK-16202:

1. Remove the duplication of the meaning of `SaveMode` (as one was in fact missing that had proven that the duplication may be incomplete in the future again)

2. Use standard scaladoc tags

/cc gatorsmile rxin yhuai (as they were involved previously)

## How was this patch tested?

* Save the DataFrame to the destination and return a relation with the given parameters based on

* Right now, there are three modes, Append, Overwrite, and ErrorIfExists.
* Append mode means that when saving a DataFrame to a data source, if data already exists,
* contents of the DataFrame are expected to be appended to existing data.
* Overwrite mode means that when saving a DataFrame to a data source, if data already exists,
* existing data is expected to be overwritten by the contents of the DataFrame.
* ErrorIfExists mode means that when saving a DataFrame to a data source,
* if data already exists, an exception is expected to be thrown.
* Saves a DataFrame to a destination (using data source-specific parameters)

* @param sqlContext SQLContext
* @param mode specifies what happens when the destination already exists
* @param parameters data source-specific parameters
