Subject: [SPARK-17141][ML] MinMaxScaler should remain NaN value.

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
In the existing code, ```MinMaxScaler``` handle ```NaN``` value indeterminately.
* If a column has identity value, that is ```max == min```, ```MinMaxScalerModel``` transformation will output ```0.5``` for all rows even the original value is ```NaN```.
* Otherwise, it will remain ```NaN``` after transformation.

I think we should unify the behavior by remaining ```NaN``` value at any condition, since we don't know how to transform a ```NaN``` value. In Python sklearn, it will throw exception when there is ```NaN``` in the dataset.

## How was this patch tested?
Unit tests.

Closes #14716 from yanboliang/spark-17141.
