[SPARK-11920][ML][DOC] ML LinearRegression should use correct dataset in examples and user guide doc

ML ```LinearRegression``` use ```data/mllib/sample_libsvm_data.txt``` as dataset in examples and user guide doc, but it's actually classification dataset rather than regression dataset. We should use ```data/mllib/sample_linear_regression_data.txt``` instead.
The deeper causes is that ```LinearRegression``` with "normal" solver can not solve this dataset correctly, may be due to the ill condition and unreasonable label. This issue has been reported at [SPARK-11918](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-11918).
It will confuse users if they run the example code but get exception, so we should make this change which can clearly illustrate the usage of ```LinearRegression``` algorithm.
