[SPARK-6705][MLLIB] Add fit intercept api to ml logisticregression

I have the fit intercept enabled by default for logistic regression, I
wonder what others think here. I understand that it enables allocation
by default which is undesirable, but one needs to have a very strong
reason for not having an intercept term enabled so it is the safer
default from a statistical sense.

Explicitly modeling the intercept by adding a column of all 1s does not
work. I believe the reason is that since the API for
LogisticRegressionWithLBFGS forces column normalization, and a column of all
1s has 0 variance so dividing by 0 kills it.
