This PR prevents ERRORs when `summary(df)` is called for `SparkDataFrame` with not-numeric columns. This failure happens only in `SparkR`.
**Before**
```r
> df <- createDataFrame(faithful)
> df <- withColumn(df, "boolean", df$waiting==79)
> summary(df)
16/07/07 14:15:16 ERROR RBackendHandler: describe on 34 failed
Error in invokeJava(isStatic = FALSE, objId$id, methodName, ...) :
org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: cannot resolve 'avg(`boolean`)' due to data type mismatch: function average requires numeric types, not BooleanType;
```
**After**
```r
> df <- createDataFrame(faithful)
> df <- withColumn(df, "boolean", df$waiting==79)
> summary(df)
SparkDataFrame[summary:string, eruptions:string, waiting:string]
```

Apply default "NA" as null string for R, like R read.csv na.string parameter.

An user passing a csv file with NA value should get the same behavior with SparkR read.df(... source = "csv")

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR introduces the new SparkSession API for SparkR.
`sparkR.session.getOrCreate()` and `sparkR.session.stop()`
"getOrCreate" is a bit unusual in R but it's important to name this clearly.
SparkR implementation should
- SparkSession is the main entrypoint (vs SparkContext; due to limited functionality supported with SparkContext in SparkR)
- SparkSession replaces SQLContext and HiveContext (both a wrapper around SparkSession, and because of API changes, supporting all 3 would be a lot more work)
- Changes to SparkSession is mostly transparent to users due to SPARK-10903
- Full backward compatibility is expected - users should be able to initialize everything just in Spark 1.6.1 (`sparkR.init()`), but with deprecation warning
- Mostly cosmetic changes to parameter list - users should be able to move to `sparkR.session.getOrCreate()` easily
- An advanced syntax with named parameters (aka varargs aka "...") is supported; that should be closer to the Builder syntax that is in Scala/Python (which unfortunately does not work in R because it will look like this: `enableHiveSupport(config(config(master(appName(builder(), "foo"), "local"), "first", "value"), "next, "value"))`
- Updating config on an existing SparkSession is supported, the behavior is the same as Python, in which config is applied to both SparkContext and SparkSession
- Some SparkSession changes are not matched in SparkR, mostly because it would be breaking API change: `catalog` object, `createOrReplaceTempView`
- Other SQLContext workarounds are replicated in SparkR, eg. `tables`, `tableNames`
- `sparkR` shell is updated to use the SparkSession entrypoint (`sqlContext` is removed, just like with Scale/Python)
- All tests are updated to use the SparkSession entrypoint
- A bug in `read.jdbc` is fixed

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR corrects SparkR to use `shell()` instead of `system2()` on Windows.
Using `system2(...)` on Windows does not process windows file separator `\`. `shell(tralsate = TRUE, ...)` can treat this problem. So, this was changed to be chosen according to OS.
Existing tests were failed on Windows due to this problem. For example, those were failed.
```
8. Failure: sparkJars tag in SparkContext (test_includeJAR.R#34)
9. Failure: sparkJars tag in SparkContext (test_includeJAR.R#36)
```
The cases above were due to using of `system2`.
In addition, this PR also fixes some tests failed on Windows.
```
5. Failure: sparkJars sparkPackages as comma-separated strings (test_context.R#128)
6. Failure: sparkJars sparkPackages as comma-separated strings (test_context.R#131)
7. Failure: sparkJars sparkPackages as comma-separated strings (test_context.R#134)
```
The cases above were due to a weird behaviour of `normalizePath()`. On Linux, if the path does not exist, it just prints out the input but it prints out including the current path on Windows.
```r
# On Linus
path <- normalizePath("aa")
print(path)
[1] "aa"
# On Windows
path <- normalizePath("aa")
print(path)
[1] "C:\\Users\\aa"
```

Eliminate the need to pass sqlContext to method since it is a singleton - and we don't want to support multiple contexts in a R session.
Changes are done in a back compat way with deprecation warning added. Method signature for S3 methods are added in a concise, clean approach such that in the next release the deprecated signature can be taken out easily/cleanly (just delete a few lines per method).
Custom method dispatch is implemented to allow for multiple JVM reference types that are all 'jobj' in R and to avoid having to add 30 new exports.

There are some failures when running SparkR unit tests.
In this PR, I fixed two of these failures in test_context.R and test_sparkSQL.R
The first one is due to different masked name. I added missed names in the expected arrays.
The second one is because one PR removed the logic of a previous fix of missing subset method.
The file privilege issue is still there. I am debugging it. SparkR shell can run the test case successfully.

in hive, `locate("aa", "aaa", 0)` would yield 0, `locate("aa", "aaa", 1)` would yield 1 and `locate("aa", "aaa", 2)` would yield 2, while in Spark, `locate("aa", "aaa", 0)` would yield 1, `locate("aa", "aaa", 1)` would yield 2 and `locate("aa", "aaa", 2)` would yield 0. This results from the different understanding of the third parameter in udf `locate`. It means the starting index and starts from 1, so when we use 0, the return would always be 0.

- the R flavor, which tries to mimic the existing R API for these algorithms (and works as an S4 specialization for Spark dataframes)
- the Spark flavor, which follows the same API and naming conventions as the rest of the MLlib algorithms in the other languages
In practice, the former calls the latter.

dapply() applies an R function on each partition of a DataFrame and returns a new DataFrame.
The function signature is:
dapply(df, function(localDF) {}, schema = NULL)
R function input: local data.frame from the partition on local node
R function output: local data.frame
Schema specifies the Row format of the resulting DataFrame. It must match the R function's output.
If schema is not specified, each partition of the result DataFrame will be serialized in R into a single byte array. Such resulting DataFrame can be processed by successive calls to dapply().

This PR adds a new function in SparkR called `sparkLapply(list, function)`. This function implements a distributed version of `lapply` using Spark as a backend.
TODO:

Trivial example in SparkR:
```R
sparkLapply(1:5, function(x) { 2 * x })

Here is a slightly more complex example to perform distributed training of multiple models. Under the hood, Spark broadcasts the dataset.
```R
library("MASS")
data(menarche)
families <- c("gaussian", "poisson")
train <- function(family){glm(Menarche ~ Age , family=family, data=menarche)}
results <- sparkLapply(families, train)
```

Make the behavior of mutate more consistent with that in dplyr, besides support for replacing existing columns.

Closes#10220 from sun-rui/SPARK-12235.
Added parameter drop to subsetting operator [. This is useful to get a Column from a DataFrame, given its name. R supports it.
In R:
```
> name <- "Sepal_Length"
> class(iris[, name])
[1] "numeric"
```
Currently, in SparkR:
```
> name <- "Sepal_Length"
> class(irisDF[, name])
[1] "DataFrame"
```
Previous code returns a DataFrame, which is inconsistent with R's behavior. SparkR should return a Column instead. Currently, in order for the user to return a Column given a column name as a character variable would be through `eval(parse(x))`, where x is the string `"irisDF$Sepal_Length"`. That itself is pretty hacky. `SparkR:::getColumn() `is another choice, but I don't see why this method should be externalized. Instead, following R's way to do things, the proposed implementation allows this:
```
> name <- "Sepal_Length"
> class(irisDF[, name, drop=T])
[1] "Column"
> class(irisDF[, name, drop=F])
[1] "DataFrame"
```
This is consistent with R:
```
> name <- "Sepal_Length"
> class(iris[, name])
[1] "numeric"
> class(iris[, name, drop=F])
[1] "data.frame"
```

Closes#11318 from olarayej/SPARK-13436.
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Added method histogram() to compute the histogram of a Column
Usage:
```
## Create a DataFrame from the Iris dataset
irisDF <- createDataFrame(sqlContext, iris)
## Render a histogram for the Sepal_Length column
histogram(irisDF, "Sepal_Length", nbins=12)
```

Note: Usage will change once SPARK-9325 is figured out so that histogram() only takes a Column as a parameter, as opposed to a DataFrame and a name
## How was this patch tested?
All unit tests pass. I added specific unit cases for different scenarios.

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
SparkR ```NaiveBayesModel``` supports ```save/load``` by the following API:
```
df <- createDataFrame(sqlContext, infert)
model <- naiveBayes(education ~ ., df, laplace = 0)
ml.save(model, path)
model2 <- ml.load(path)
```
## How was this patch tested?
Add unit tests.

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
In order to support running SQL directly on files, we added some code in ResolveRelations to catch the exception thrown by catalog.lookupRelation and ignore it. This unfortunately masks all the exceptions. This patch changes the logic to simply test the table's existence.
## How was this patch tested?
I manually hacked some bugs into Spark and made sure the exceptions were being propagated up.

Closes#12634 from rxin/SPARK-14869.
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Changed class name defined in R from "DataFrame" to "SparkDataFrame". A popular package, S4Vector already defines "DataFrame" - this change is to avoid conflict.
Aside from class name and API/roxygen2 references, SparkR APIs like `createDataFrame`, `as.DataFrame` are not changed (S4Vector does not define a "as.DataFrame").
Since in R, one would rarely reference type/class, this change should have minimal/almost-no impact to a SparkR user in terms of back compat.
## How was this patch tested?
SparkR tests, manually loading S4Vector then SparkR package
