[SPARK-5602][SQL] Better support for creating DataFrame from local da…

…ta collection

1. Added methods to create DataFrames from Seq[Product]
2. Added executeTake to avoid running a Spark job on LocalRelations.

Author: Reynold Xin <rxin@databricks.com>

Closes #4372 from rxin/localDataFrame and squashes the following commits:

f696858 [Reynold Xin] style checker.
