Correct small compile errors, typos, and markdown issues in (primarly) MLlib docs

While play-testing the Scala and Java code examples in the MLlib docs, I noticed a number of small compile errors, and some typos. This led to finding and fixing a few similar items in other docs.

Then in the course of building the site docs to check the result, I found a few small suggestions for the build instructions. I also found a few more formatting and markdown issues uncovered when I accidentally used maruku instead of kramdown.
