Replaces a number of occurences of `MLlib` in the documentation that were meant to refer to the `spark.mllib` package instead. It should clarify for new users the difference between `spark.mllib` (the package) and MLlib (the umbrella project for ML in spark). It also removes some files that I forgot to delete with #10207 Author: Timothy Hunter <timhunter@databricks.com> Closes #10234 from thunterdb/12212.

The `spark.mllib` package 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.
