[SPARK-4772] Clear local copies of accumulators as soon as we're done…

… with them

Accumulators keep thread-local copies of themselves.  These copies were only cleared at the beginning of a task.  This meant that (a) the memory they used was tied up until the next task ran on that thread, and (b) if a thread died, the memory it had used for accumulators was locked up forever on that worker.

This PR clears the thread-local copies of accumulators at the end of each task, in the tasks finally block, to make sure they are cleaned up between tasks.  It also stores them in a ThreadLocal object, so that if, for some reason, the thread dies, any memory they are using at the time should be freed up.

Closes #3570 from nkronenfeld/Accumulator-Improvements and squashes the following commits:

a581f3f [Nathan Kronenfeld] Change Accumulators to private[spark] instead of adding mima exclude to get around false positive in mima tests
b6c2180 [Nathan Kronenfeld] Include MiMa exclude as per build error instructions - this version incompatibility should be irrelevent, as it will only surface if a master is talking to a worker running a different version of spark.
537baad [Nathan Kronenfeld] Fuller refactoring as intended, incorporating JR's suggestions for ThreadLocal localAccums, and keeping clear(), but also calling it in tasks' finally block, rather than just at the beginning of the task.
