[SPARK-10142] [STREAMING] Made python checkpoint recovery handle non-local checkpoint paths and existing SparkContexts

The current code only checks checkpoint files in local filesystem, and always tries to create a new Python SparkContext (even if one already exists). The solution is to do the following:
1. Use the same code path as Java to check whether a valid checkpoint exists
2. Create a new Python SparkContext only if there no active one.

There is not test for the path as its hard to test with distributed filesystem paths in a local unit test. I am going to test it with a distributed file system manually to verify that this patch works.
