[MINOR] Issue: Change "slice" vs "partition" in exception messages (and code?)

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Came across the term "slice" when running some spark scala code. Consequently, a Google search indicated that "slices" and "partitions" refer to the same things; indeed see:

- [This issue](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1701)
- [This pull request](https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/2305)
- [This StackOverflow answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23436640/what-is-the-difference-between-an-rdd-partition-and-a-slice) and [this one](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24269495/what-are-the-differences-between-slices-and-partitions-of-rdds)

Thus this pull request fixes the occurrence of slice I came accross. Nonetheless, [it would appear](https://github.com/apache/spark/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=slice&type=) there are still many references to "slice/slices" - thus I thought I'd raise this Pull Request to address the issue (sorry if this is the wrong place, I'm not too familar with raising apache issues).

## How was this patch tested?

(Not tested locally - only a minor exception message change.)
