    [SPARK-12301][ML] Made all tree and ensemble classes not final

    ## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
    
    There have been continuing requests (e.g., SPARK-7131) for allowing users 
to extend and modify MLlib models and algorithms.
    
    This PR makes tree and ensemble classes, Node types, and Split types in 
spark.ml no longer final.  This matches most other spark.ml algorithms.
    
    Constructors for models are still private since we may need to refactor how 
stats are maintained in tree nodes.
    
    ## How was this patch tested?
    
    Existing unit tests
