Description

I'd like to file away a bunch of misc files that are in the top level of the project in order to further tidy the build for 2.0.0. See also SPARK-13529, SPARK-13548.

Some of these may turn out to be difficult or impossible to move.

I'd ideally like to move these files into build/:

• .rat-excludes
• checkstyle.xml
• checkstyle-suppressions.xml
• pylintrc
• scalastyle-config.xml
• tox.ini
• project/ (or does SBT need this in the root?)

And ideally, these would go under dev/

• make-distribution.sh

And remove these

• sbt/sbt (backwards-compatible location of build/sbt right?)

Edited to add: apparently this can go in .github now:

• CONTRIBUTING.md

Other files in the top level seem to need to be there, like README.md
