[SPARK-10827][CORE] AppClient should not use askWithReply in receiveAndReply

Changed AppClient to be non-blocking in `receiveAndReply` by using a separate thread to wait for response and reply to the context.  The threads are managed by a thread pool.  Also added unit tests for the AppClient interface.

Closes #9317 from BryanCutler/appClient-receiveAndReply-SPARK-10827.
