[SPARK-3029] Disable local execution of Spark jobs by default
Currently, local execution of Spark jobs is only used by take(), and it can be problematic as it can load a significant amount of data onto the driver. The worst case scenarios occur if the RDD is cached (guaranteed to load whole partition), has very large elements, or the partition is just large and we apply a filter with high selectivity or computational overhead.
Additionally, jobs that run locally in this manner do not show up in the web UI, and are thus harder to track or understand what is occurring.
This PR adds a flag to disable local execution, which is turned OFF by default, with the intention of perhaps eventually removing this functionality altogether. Removing it now is a tougher proposition since it is part of the public runJob API. An alternative solution would be to limit the flag to take()/first() to avoid impacting any external users of this API, but such usage (or, at least, reliance upon the feature) is hopefully minimal.
