[SPARK-19820] [core] Allow reason to be specified for task kill ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? This refactors the task kill path to allow specifying a reason for the task kill. The reason is propagated opaquely through events, and will show up in the UI automatically as `(N tasks killed: $reason)` and `TaskKilled: $reason`. Also, make the logic for whether a task failure should be retried explicit rather than special casing TaskKilled messages. cc @rxin ## How was this patch tested? Existing tests, tried killing some stages in the UI and verified the messages are as expected.
