[SPARK-8613] [ML] [TRIVIAL] add param to disable linear feature scaling

Add a param to disable linear feature scaling (to be implemented later in linear & logistic regression). Done as a seperate PR so we can use same param & not conflict while working on the sub-tasks.

Author: Holden Karau <holden@pigscanfly.ca>

Closes #7024 from holdenk/SPARK-8522-Disable-Linear_featureScaling-Spark-8613-Add-param and squashes the following commits:

ce8931a [Holden Karau] Regenerate the sharedParams code
fa6427e [Holden Karau] update text for standardization param.
7b24a2b [Holden Karau] generate the new standardization param
3c190af [Holden Karau] Add the standardization param to sharedparamscodegen
