[SPARK-17057] [ML] ProbabilisticClassifierModels' prediction more reasonable with multi zero thresholds ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? See related discussion at https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/14643 This actually changes more than what the original JIRA encompassed, but does propose a more reasonable (?) and deterministic result in this and other corner cases. Revise semantics of ProbabilisticClassifierModel thresholds so that classes can only be predicted if they exceed their threshold (meaning no class may be predicted), and otherwise ordering by highest probability, then lowest threshold, then by class index. ## How was this patch tested? Existing and new unit tests.
