SPARK-1619 Launch spark-shell with spark-submit
This simplifies the shell a bunch and passes all arguments through to spark-submit. There is a tiny incompatibility from 0.9.1 which is that you can't put `-c` _or_ `--cores`, only `--cores`. However, spark-submit will give a good error message in this case, I don't think many people used this, and it's a trivial change for users.

In the Spark shell, a special interpreter-aware SparkContext is already created for you, in the
variable called `sc`. Making your own SparkContext will not work. You can set which master the
-context connects to using the `MASTER` environment variable, and you can add JARs to the classpath
