[SPARK-8169] [ML] Add StopWordsRemover as a transformer

jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8169

stop words: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_words

StopWordsRemover takes a string array column and outputs a string array column with all defined stop words removed. The transformer should also come with a standard set of stop words as default.

Currently I used a minimum stop words set since on some [case](http://nlp.stanford.edu/IR-book/html/htmledition/dropping-common-terms-stop-words-1.html), small set of stop words is preferred.
ASCII char has been tested, Yet I cannot check it in due to style check.

Further thought,
1. Maybe I should use OpenHashSet. Is it recommended?
2. Currently I leave the null in input array untouched, i.e. Array(null, null) => Array(null, null).
3. If the current stop words set looks too limited, any suggestion for replacement? We can have something similar to the one in [SKlearn](https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/master/sklearn/feature_extraction/stop_words.py).
