Joseph K. Bradley 5ffd5d3838 [SPARK-14817][ML][MLLIB][DOC] Made DataFrame-based API primary in MLlib guide
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Made DataFrame-based API primary
* Spark doc menu bar and other places now link to ml-guide.html, not mllib-guide.html
* mllib-guide.html keeps RDD-specific list of features, with a link at the top redirecting people to ml-guide.html
* ml-guide.html includes a "maintenance mode" announcement about the RDD-based API
  * **Reviewers: please check this carefully**
* (minor) Titles for DF API no longer include "- spark.ml" suffix.  Titles for RDD API have "- RDD-based API" suffix
* Moved migration guide to ml-guide from mllib-guide
  * Also moved past guides from mllib-migration-guides to ml-migration-guides, with a redirect link on mllib-migration-guides
  * **Reviewers**: I did not change any of the content of the migration guides.

Reorganized DataFrame-based guide:
* ml-guide.html mimics the old mllib-guide.html page in terms of content: overview, migration guide, etc.
* Moved Pipeline description into ml-pipeline.html and moved tuning into ml-tuning.html
  * **Reviewers**: I did not change the content of these guides, except some intro text.
* Sidebar remains the same, but with pipeline and tuning sections added

Other:
* ml-classification-regression.html: Moved text about linear methods to new section in page

The spark.mllib package supports various methods for binary classification, multiclass classification, and regression analysis. The table below outlines the supported algorithms for each type of problem.

Problem TypeSupported Methods
Binary Classificationlinear SVMs, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, gradient-boosted trees, naive Bayes
Multiclass Classificationlogistic regression, decision trees, random forests, naive Bayes
Regressionlinear least squares, Lasso, ridge regression, decision trees, random forests, gradient-boosted trees, isotonic regression
