[SPARK-5063] Useful error messages for nested RDDs and actions inside of
transformations
This patch adds more helpful error messages for invalid programs that
define nested RDDs and performs actions inside of transformations (e.g. calling
`count()` from inside of `map()`). Currently, these invalid programs lead to
confusing NullPointerExceptions at runtime and have been a major source of
questions on the mailing list and StackOverflow.
