HyukjinKwon 9818f079aa [SPARK-33243][PYTHON][BUILD] Add numpydoc into documentation dependency
### What changes were proposed in this pull request?

This PR proposes to initiate the migration to NumPy documentation style (from reST style) in PySpark docstrings.
This PR also adds one migration example of `SparkContext`.

### Why are the changes needed?

There are many reasons for switching to NumPy documentation style.

1. Arguably reST style doesn't fit well when the docstring grows large because it provides (arguably) less structures and syntax.

2. NumPy documentation style provides a better human readable docstring format. For example, notebook users often just do `help(...)` by `pydoc`.

3. NumPy documentation style is pretty commonly used in data science libraries, for example, pandas, numpy, Dask, Koalas,
matplotlib, ... Using NumPy documentation style can give users a consistent documentation style.

### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?

The dependency itself doesn't change anything user-facing.
The documentation change in `SparkContext` does, as shown above.

### How was this patch tested?

Manually tested via running `cd python` and `make clean html`.

Closes #30149 from HyukjinKwon/SPARK-33243.
