[SPARK-17389] [MLLIB] Significant KMeans speedup with better choice of init steps, optimizing to remove 'runs' ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? - Deprecate KMeans 'runs' param which was a no-op since 2.0 - optimize/simplify code now that runs = 1 always - most significantly, choose initializationSteps = 2 as default for default k-means|| init because the paper implies that's as optimal and is much faster. ## How was this patch tested?
