[SPARK-20423][ML] fix MLOR coeffs centering when reg == 0

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

When reg == 0, MLOR has multiple solutions and we need to centralize the coeffs 
to get identical result.
BUT current implementation centralize the `coefficientMatrix` by the global 
coeffs means.

In fact the `coefficientMatrix` should be centralized on each feature index 
itself.
Because, according to the MLOR probability distribution function, it can be 
proven easily that:
suppose `{ w0, w1, .. w(K-1) }` make up the `coefficientMatrix`,
then `{ w0 + c, w1 + c, ... w(K - 1) + c}` will also be the equivalent solution.
`c` is an arbitrary vector of `numFeatures` dimension.

So that we need to centralize the `coefficientMatrix` on each feature dimension 
separately.

**We can also confirm this through R library `glmnet`, that MLOR in `glmnet` 
always generate coefficients result that the sum of each dimension is all 
`zero`, when reg == 0.**

## How was this patch tested?

Tests added.
