Description

Before the release, we need to update the SparkR Programming Guide, its migration guide, and the R vignettes. Updates will include:

• Add migration guide subsection.
  • Use the results of the QA audit JIRAs and SPARK-17692.
• Check phrasing, especially in main sections (for outdated items such as "In this release, ...")
• Update R vignettes

Note: This task is for large changes to the guides. New features are handled in SPARK-18330.
