[ZEPPELIN-2008] Introduce Spell
### What is this PR for?
Implemented **Spell** to Helium categories. *Technically, it's the frontend
interpreter* runs on browser not backend.
Spell can provide many benefits.
1. Anyone can install, remove using helium package registry by #1936
2. Implementing spell is extremely easier rather than adding backend
interpreter
3. Can use existing javsacript libraries. (e.g
[flowchart.js](http://flowchart.js.org/), [sequence diagram
js](https://github.com/bramp/js-sequence-diagrams), ...). This enable us to add
many visualization tools. Assume that you can implement whatever you want to
visualize in few lines of code like
[flowchart-spell-example](https://github.com/apache/zeppelin/compare/master...1ambda:ZEPPELIN-2008/introduce-spell?expand=1#diff-364845b20d68e4d94688e44fef03da98)
4. The most important thing is, spell can be not only interpreter but also
display system. Because it runs on browser. This enable us to combining
existing backend interpreter with spell display like
```
// if we have markdown spell
%spark
val calculated = doSomething()
println(s"%markdown _${calculated})
```
I added some examples. Checkout `echo`, `markdown`, `translator`,
`flowchart` spells.

### Screenshots (if appropriate)
### Questions:
* Does the licenses files need update - NO

would like to defer to write document right now.
