    [SPARK-4029][Streaming] Update streaming driver to reliably save and 
recover received block metadata on driver failures

    As part of the initiative of preventing data loss on driver failure, this 
JIRA tracks the sub task of modifying the streaming driver to reliably save 
received block metadata, and recover them on driver restart.
    
    This was solved by introducing a `ReceivedBlockTracker` that takes all the 
responsibility of managing the metadata of received blocks (i.e. 
`ReceivedBlockInfo`, and any actions on them (e.g, allocating blocks to 
batches, etc.). All actions to block info get written out to a write ahead log 
(using `WriteAheadLogManager`). On recovery, all the actions are replaying to 
recreate the pre-failure state of the `ReceivedBlockTracker`, which include the 
batch-to-block allocations and the unallocated blocks. 
    
    Furthermore, the `ReceiverInputDStream` was modified to create 
`WriteAheadLogBackedBlockRDD`s when file segment info is present in the 
`ReceivedBlockInfo`. After recovery of all the block info (through recovery 
`ReceivedBlockTracker`), the `WriteAheadLogBackedBlockRDD`s gets recreated with 
the recovered info, and jobs submitted. The data of the blocks gets pulled from 
the write ahead logs, thanks to the segment info present in the 
`ReceivedBlockInfo`.
    
    This is still a WIP. Things that are missing here are.
    - Unit test that tests the driver recovery, by killing and restarting the 
streaming context, and verifying all the input data gets processed.
    - Cleaning up the received data write ahead log, by calling 
`ReceivedBlockHandler.cleanupOldBlocks`.
