SPARK-2058: Overriding SPARK_HOME/conf with SPARK_CONF_DIR
Update of PR #997. With this PR, setting SPARK_CONF_DIR overrides SPARK_HOME/conf (not only spark-defaults.conf and spark-env). Author: EugenCepoi <cepoi.eugen@gmail.com> Closes #2481 from EugenCepoi/SPARK-2058 and squashes the following commits: 0bb32c2 [EugenCepoi] use orElse orNull and fixing trailing percent in compute-classpath.cmd 77f35d7 [EugenCepoi] SPARK-2058: Overriding SPARK_HOME/conf with SPARK_CONF_DIR (cherry picked from commit f0811f928e5b608e1a2cba3b6828ba0ed03b701d) Signed-off-by: Andrew Or <andrewor14@gmail.com>

Spark uses [log4j](http://logging.apache.org/log4j/) for logging. You can configure it by adding a
`log4j.properties` file in the `conf` directory. One way to start is to copy the existing
`log4j.properties.template` located there.

+To specify a different configuration directory other than the default "SPARK_HOME/conf",
+you can set SPARK_CONF_DIR. Spark will use the the configuration files (spark-defaults.conf, spark-env.sh, log4j.properties, etc)
+from this directory.
