Description

I think that we should rename the unsafe module to managedmemory and update the relevant SparkConf configurations before exposing them in Spark 1.4.

I think that the new names would be less scary to users and more informative to readers. For example, ManagedMemoryRow seems like a better clearer than UnsafeRow. Similarly, ManagedMemoryShuffleManager seems more descriptive than UnsafeShuffleManager.
