[SPARK-4194] [core] Make SparkContext initialization exception-safe.
SparkContext has a very long constructor, where multiple things are initialized, multiple threads are spawned, and multiple opportunities for exceptions to be thrown exist. If one of these happens at an innoportune time, lots of garbage tends to stick around. This patch re-organizes SparkContext so that its internal state is initialized in a big "try" block. The fields keeping state are now completely private to SparkContext, and are "vars", because Scala doesn't allow you to initialize a val later. The existing API interface is kept by turning vals into defs (which works because Scala guarantees the same binary interface for those). On top of that, a few things in other areas were changed to avoid more things leaking: - Executor was changed to explicitly wait for the heartbeat thread to stop. LocalBackend was changed to wait for the "StopExecutor" message to be received, since otherwise there could be a race between that message arriving and the actor system being shut down. - ConnectionManager could possibly hang during shutdown, because an interrupt at the wrong moment could cause the selector thread to still call select and then wait forever. So also wake up the selector so that this situation is avoided.
