Manish Amde 07d72fe696 Decision Tree documentation for MLlib programming guide
Added documentation for user to use the decision tree algorithms for classification and regression in Spark 1.0 release.

Apart from a general review, I need specific input on the following:
* I had to move a lot of the existing documentation under the *linear methods* umbrella to accommodate decision trees. I wonder if there is a better way to organize the programming guide given we are so close to the release.
* I have not looked closely at pyspark but I am wondering new mllib algorithms are automatically plugged in or do we need to some extra work to call mllib functions from pyspark. I will add to the pyspark examples based upon the advice I get.
