This PR replaces the old "threshold" with a generalized "thresholds" Param. We keep getThreshold,setThreshold for backwards compatibility for binary classification.

Closes#7909 from jkbradley/holdenk-SPARK-8069-add-cutoff-aka-threshold-to-random-forest and squashes the following commits:
3952977 [Joseph K. Bradley] fixed pyspark doc test
85febc8 [Joseph K. Bradley] made python unit tests a little more robust
7eb1d86 [Joseph K. Bradley] small cleanups
6cc2ed8 [Joseph K. Bradley] Fixed remaining merge issues.
0255e44 [Joseph K. Bradley] Many cleanups for thresholds, some more tests
7565a60 [Holden Karau] fix pep8 style checks, add a getThreshold method similar to our LogisticRegression.scala one for API compat
be87f26 [Holden Karau] Convert threshold to thresholds in the python code, add specialized support for Array[Double] to shared parems codegen, etc.
6747dad [Holden Karau] Override raw2prediction for ProbabilisticClassifier, fix some tests
25df168 [Holden Karau] Fix handling of thresholds in LogisticRegression
c02d6c0 [Holden Karau] No default for thresholds
5e43628 [Holden Karau] CR feedback and fixed the renamed test
f3fbbd1 [Holden Karau] revert the changes to random forest :(
51f581c [Holden Karau] Add explicit types to public methods, fix long line
f7032eb [Holden Karau] Fix a java test bug, remove some unecessary changes
adf15b4 [Holden Karau] rename the classifier suite test to ProbabilisticClassifierSuite now that we only have it in Probabilistic
398078a [Holden Karau] move the thresholding around a bunch based on the design doc
4893bdc [Holden Karau] Use numtrees of 3 since previous result was tied (one tree for each) and the switch from different max methods picked a different element (since they were equal I think this is ok)
638854c [Holden Karau] Add a scala RandomForestClassifierSuite test based on corresponding python test
e09919c [Holden Karau] Fix return type, I need more coffee....
8d92cac [Holden Karau] Use ClassifierParams as the head
3456ed3 [Holden Karau] Add explicit return types even though just test
a0f3b0c [Holden Karau] scala style fixes
6f14314 [Holden Karau] Since hasthreshold/hasthresholds is in root classifier now
ffc8dab [Holden Karau] Update the sharedParams
0420290 [Holden Karau] Allow us to override the get methods selectively
978e77a [Holden Karau] Move HasThreshold into classifier params and start defining the overloaded getThreshold/getThresholds functions
1433e52 [Holden Karau] Revert "try and hide threshold but chainges the API so no dice there"
1f09a2e [Holden Karau] try and hide threshold but chainges the API so no dice there
efb9084 [Holden Karau] move setThresholds only to where its used
6b34809 [Holden Karau] Add a test with thresholding for the RFCS
74f54c3 [Holden Karau] Fix creation of vote array
1986fa8 [Holden Karau] Setting the thresholds only makes sense if the underlying class hasn't overridden predict, so lets push it down.
2f44b18 [Holden Karau] Add a global default of null for thresholds param
f338cfc [Holden Karau] Wait that wasn't a good idea, Revert "Some progress towards unifying threshold and thresholds"
634b06f [Holden Karau] Some progress towards unifying threshold and thresholds
85c9e01 [Holden Karau] Test passes again... little fnur
099c0f3 [Holden Karau] Move thresholds around some more (set on model not trainer)
0f46836 [Holden Karau] Start adding a classifiersuite
f70eb5e [Holden Karau] Fix test compile issues
a7d59c8 [Holden Karau] Move thresholding into Classifier trait
5d999d2 [Holden Karau] Some more progress, start adding a test (maybe try and see if we can find a better thing to use for the base of the test)
1fed644 [Holden Karau] Use thresholds to scale scores in random forest classifcation
31d6bf2 [Holden Karau] Start threading the threshold info through
0ef228c [Holden Karau] Add hasthresholds
