### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
`AccumulableInfo` is one of the top heap consumers in driver's heap dumps
for stages with many tasks. For a stage with a large number of tasks
(**_O(100k)_**), we saw **30%** of the heap usage stemming from
`TaskInfo.accumulables()`.

The `TaskSetManager` today keeps around the TaskInfo objects
([ref1](https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/c1ba963e64a22dea28e17b1ed954e6d03d38da1e/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/scheduler/TaskSetManager.scala#L134),
[ref2](https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/c1ba963e64a22dea28e17b1ed954e6d03d38da1e/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/scheduler/TaskSetManager.scala#L192)))
and in turn the task metrics (`AccumulableInfo`) for every task attempt until
the stage is completed. This means that for stages with a large number of
tasks, we keep metrics for all the tasks (`AccumulableInfo`) around even when
the task has completed and its metrics have been aggregated. Given a task has a
large number of metrics, stages with many tasks end up with a large heap usage
in the form of task metrics.
This PR reduces the driver's heap usage for stages with many tasks by no
longer referencing the task metrics of completed tasks. Once a task is
completed in `TaskSetManager`, we no longer keep its metrics around. Upon task
completion, we clone the `TaskInfo` object and empty out the metrics for the
clone. The cloned `TaskInfo` is retained by the `TaskSetManager` while the
original `TaskInfo` object with the metrics is sent over to the `DAGScheduler`
where the task metrics are aggregated. Thus for a completed task,
`TaskSetManager` holds a `TaskInfo` object with empty metrics. This reduces the
memory footprint by ensuring that the number of task metric objects is
proportional to the number of active tasks and not to the total number of tasks
in the stage.
### Config to gate changes
The changes in the PR are guarded with the Spark conf
`spark.scheduler.dropTaskInfoAccumulablesOnTaskCompletion.enabled` which can be
used for rollback or staged rollouts.
### Why are the changes needed?
<!--
Please clarify why the changes are needed. For instance,
1. If you propose a new API, clarify the use case for a new API.
2. If you fix a bug, you can clarify why it is a bug.

Reduce driver's heap usage, especially for stages with many tasks
## Benchmarking
On a cluster running a scan stage with 100k tasks, the TaskSetManager's heap
usage dropped from 1.1 GB to 37 MB. This **reduced the total driver's heap
usage by 38%**, down to 2 GB from 3.5 GB.
