Mike Dusenberry 63a5ce75ea [SPARK-7830] [DOCS] [MLLIB] Adding logistic regression to the list of Multiclass Classification Supported Methods documentation
Added logistic regression to the list of Multiclass Classification Supported Methods in the MLlib Classification and Regression documentation, as it was missing.

Author: Mike Dusenberry <dusenberrymw@gmail.com>

Closes #6357 from dusenberrymw/Add_LR_To_List_Of_Multiclass_Classification_Methods and squashes the following commits:

7918650 [Mike Dusenberry] Updating broken link due to the "Binary Classification" section on the Linear Methods page being renamed to "Classification".
3005dc2 [Mike Dusenberry] Adding logistic regression to the list of Multiclass Classification Supported Methods in the MLlib Classification and Regression documentation, as it was missing.

MLlib supports various methods for
[binary classification](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_classification),
[multiclass
classification](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiclass_classification), and
[regression analysis](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_analysis). The table below outlines
the supported algorithms for each type of problem.
<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr><th>Problem Type</th><th>Supported Methods</th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Binary Classification</td><td>linear SVMs, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, gradient-boosted trees, naive Bayes</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Multiclass Classification</td><td>logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, naive Bayes</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Regression</td><td>linear least squares, Lasso, ridge regression, decision trees, random forests, gradient-boosted trees, isotonic regression</td>
</tr>
