The current default storage level of Python persist API is MEMORY_ONLY_SER. This is different from the default level MEMORY_ONLY in the official document and RDD APIs.
davies Is this inconsistency intentional? Thanks!
Updates: Since the data is always serialized on the Python side, the storage levels of JAVA-specific deserialization are not removed, such as MEMORY_ONLY.
Updates: Based on the reviewers' feedback. In Python, stored objects will always be serialized with the [Pickle](https://docs.python.org/2/library/pickle.html) library, so it does not matter whether you choose a serialized level. The available storage levels in Python include `MEMORY_ONLY`, `MEMORY_ONLY_2`, `MEMORY_AND_DISK`, `MEMORY_AND_DISK_2`, `DISK_ONLY`, `DISK_ONLY_2` and `OFF_HEAP`.

Closes#10092 from gatorsmile/persistStorageLevel.
This PR includes the following fixes:
1. Use `range` instead of `xrange` in `queue_stream.py` to support Python 3.
2. Fix the issue that `utf8_decoder` will return `bytes` rather than `str` when receiving an empty `bytes` in Python 3.
3. Fix the commands in docs so that the user can copy them directly to the command line. The previous commands was broken in the middle of a path, so when copying to the command line, the path would be split to two parts by the extra spaces, which forces the user to fix it manually.
