Joseph K. Bradley 657a88835d [SPARK-4580] [SPARK-4610] [mllib] [docs] Documentation for tree ensembles + DecisionTree API fix
Major changes:
* Added programming guide sections for tree ensembles
* Added examples for tree ensembles
* Updated DecisionTree programming guide with more info on parameters
* **API change**: Standardized the tree parameter for the number of classes (for classification)

Minor changes:
* Updated decision tree documentation
* Updated existing tree and tree ensemble examples
 * Use train/test split, and compute test error instead of training error.
 * Fixed decision_tree_runner.py to actually use the number of classes it computes from data. (small bug fix)

Note: I know this is a lot of lines, but most is covered by:
* Programming guide sections for gradient boosting and random forests.  (The changes are probably best viewed by generating the docs locally.)
* New examples (which were copied from the programming guide)
* The "numClasses" renaming

I have run all examples and relevant unit tests.

Closes #3461 from jkbradley/ensemble-docs and squashes the following commits:

70a75f3 [Joseph K. Bradley] updated forest vs boosting comparison
d1de753 [Joseph K. Bradley] Added note about toString and toDebugString for DecisionTree to migration guide
8e87f8f [Joseph K. Bradley] Combined GBT and RandomForest guides into one ensembles guide
6fab846 [Joseph K. Bradley] small fixes based on review
b9f8576 [Joseph K. Bradley] updated decision tree doc
375204c [Joseph K. Bradley] fixed python style
2b60b6e [Joseph K. Bradley] merged Java RandomForest examples into 1 file.  added header.  Fixed small bug in same example in the programming guide.
706d332 [Joseph K. Bradley] updated python DT runner to print full model if it is small
c76c823 [Joseph K. Bradley] added migration guide for mllib
abe5ed7 [Joseph K. Bradley] added examples for random forest in Java and Python to examples folder
07fc11d [Joseph K. Bradley] Renamed numClassesForClassification to numClasses everywhere in trees and ensembles. This is a breaking API change, but it was necessary to correct an API inconsistency in Spark 1.1 (where Python DecisionTree used numClasses but Scala used numClassesForClassification).
cdfdfbc [Joseph K. Bradley] added examples for GBT
6372a2b [Joseph K. Bradley] updated decision tree examples to use random split.  tested all of them.
ad3e695 [Joseph K. Bradley] added gbt and random forest to programming guide.  still need to update their examples
