Eric Liang 8e558041aa [SPARK-19820][CORE] Add interface to kill tasks w/ a reason
This commit adds a killTaskAttempt method to SparkContext, to allow users to
kill tasks so that they can be re-scheduled elsewhere.

This also refactors the task kill path to allow specifying a reason for the task kill. The reason is propagated opaquely through events, and will show up in the UI automatically as `(N killed: $reason)` and `TaskKilled: $reason`. Without this change, there is no way to provide the user feedback through the UI.

Currently used reasons are "stage cancelled", "another attempt succeeded", and "killed via SparkContext.killTask". The user can also specify a custom reason through `SparkContext.killTask`.

In the stage overview UI the reasons are summarized:

Within the stage UI you can see individual task kill reasons:

Existing tests, tried killing some stages in the UI and verified the messages are as expected.
