[SPARK-7799][STREAMING][DOCUMENT] Add the linking and deploying instructions for streaming-akka project

Since `actorStream` is an external project, we should add the linking and deploying instructions for it.

A follow up PR of #10744

Author: Shixiong Zhu <shixiong@databricks.com>

Closes #10856 from zsxwing/akka-link-instruction.

+3. **Deploying:** As with any Spark applications, `spark-submit` is used to launch your application.
+You need to package `spark-streaming-akka_{{site.SCALA_BINARY_VERSION}}` and its dependencies into
+the application JAR. Make sure `spark-core_{{site.SCALA_BINARY_VERSION}}` and `spark-streaming_{{site.SCALA_BINARY_VERSION}}`
+are marked as `provided` dependencies as those are already present in a Spark installation. Then
+use `spark-submit` to launch your application (see [Deploying section](streaming-programming-guide.html#deploying-applications) in the main programming guide).
 
 <span class="badge" style="background-color: grey">Python API</span> Since actors are available only in the Java and Scala libraries, AkkaUtils is not available in the Python API.
