[SPARK-2025] Unpersist edges of previous graph in Pregel

Due to a bug introduced by apache/spark#497, Pregel does not unpersist 
replicated vertices from previous iterations. As a result, they stay cached 
until memory is full, wasting GC time.

This PR corrects the problem by unpersisting both the edges and the replicated 
vertices of previous iterations. This is safe because the edges and replicated 
vertices of the current iteration are cached by the call to `g.cache()` and 
then materialized by the call to `messages.count()`. Therefore no 
unmaterialized RDDs depend on `prevG.edges`. I verified that no recomputation 
occurs by running PageRank with a custom patch to Spark that warns when a 
partition is recomputed.

Thanks to Tim Weninger for reporting this bug.
