Add predict api to estimator

[buaazhwb]

For now, user can only obtain predictions by getting the model and then predicting

[ConeyLiu]

what input and output should we want? And for predicting, does it should be the model serving part?

I'm not sure whom raydp's target user is. Looks like the evaluate function is enough. If I'm a kaggler, I need the prediction result of test dataset which is without label and submit the result to the competition. For now, I need to get the model and predict by myself. The purpose of predicting is different from serving. We just want to obtain the prediction in a python script

Input should support both RayDp dataset and spark dataframe. For output, should it be consistent with input or just numpy array/pandas dataframe?
