[BEAM-313] Enable the use of an existing spark context with the SparkPipelineRunner The general use case is that the SparkPipelineRunner creates its own Spark context and uses it for the pipeline execution. Another alternative is to provide the SparkPipelineRunner with an existing spark context. This can be interesting for a lot of use cases where the Spark context is managed outside of beam (context reuse, advanced context management, spark job server, ...).
