[SPARK-19520][STREAMING] Do not encrypt data written to the WAL.

Spark's I/O encryption uses an ephemeral key for each driver instance.
So driver B cannot decrypt data written by driver A since it doesn't
have the correct key.

The write ahead log is used for recovery, thus needs to be readable by
a different driver. So it cannot be encrypted by Spark's I/O encryption
code.

The BlockManager APIs used by the WAL code to write the data automatically
encrypt data, so changes are needed so that callers can to opt out of
encryption.

Aside from that, the "putBytes" API in the BlockManager does not do
encryption, so a separate situation arised where the WAL would write
unencrypted data to the BM and, when those blocks were read, decryption
would fail. So the WAL code needs to ask the BM to encrypt that data
when encryption is enabled; this code is not optimal since it results
in a (temporary) second copy of the data block in memory, but should be
OK for now until a more performant solution is added. The non-encryption
case should not be affected.

Tested with new unit tests, and by running streaming apps that do
recovery using the WAL data with I/O encryption turned on.
