PCA: Add grouping support to PCA JIRA: MADLIB-947 - PCA can now handle grouping columns. pca_train() with grouping_cols parameter specified learns an independent model for each group in the input table. New columns corresponding to the columns specified in grouping_cols will be created in the output, mean and summary tables. - If pca_project() is called on an input table that has grouping_cols in it, the pc_table used in the parameter list must be a PCA model table that is learnt with grouping_cols. If the input table for pca_project() has grouping columns but the pc_table used does not support grouping_cols, or vice versa, there will be an error thrown. - Another important new feature is that the 'row_id' column in the input tables always had to be serially increasing, starting from 1. That requirement is now relaxed since this commit converts given 'row_id' to a new column that follows the rules laid out by sparse and dense matrix formats. - Both the online and user docs are improved with more examples.
