[SPARK-8975] [STREAMING] Adds a mechanism to send a new rate from the…

… driver to the block generator

Closes apache#7471 from dragos/topic/streaming-bp/dynamic-rate and squashes the following commits:

8941cf9 [Iulian Dragos] Renames and other nitpicks.
162d9e5 [Iulian Dragos] Use Reflection for accessing truly private `executor` method and use the listener bus to know when receivers have registered (`onStart` is called before receivers have registered, leading to flaky behavior).
210f495 [Iulian Dragos] Revert "Added a few tests that measure the receiver’s rate."
0c51959 [Iulian Dragos] Added a few tests that measure the receiver’s rate.
261a051 [Iulian Dragos] - removed field to hold the current rate limit in rate limiter - made rate limit a Long and default to Long.MaxValue (consequence of the above) - removed custom `waitUntil` and replaced it by `eventually`
cd1397d [Iulian Dragos] Add a test for the propagation of a new rate limit from driver to receivers.
6369b30 [Iulian Dragos] Merge pull request alteryx#15 from huitseeker/SPARK-8975
d15de42 [François Garillot] [SPARK-8975][Streaming] Adds Ratelimiter unit tests w.r.t. spark.streaming.receiver.maxRate
4721c7d [François Garillot] [SPARK-8975][Streaming] Add a mechanism to send a new rate from the driver to the block generator
