SPARK-1279: Fix improper use of SimpleDateFormat

`SimpleDateFormat` is not thread-safe. Some places use the same SimpleDateFormat object without safeguard in the multiple threads. It will cause that the Web UI displays improper date.

This PR creates a new `SimpleDateFormat` every time when it's necessary. Another solution is using `ThreadLocal` to store a `SimpleDateFormat` in each thread. If this PR impacts the performance, I can change to the latter one.

Closes #179 from zsxwing/SPARK-1278 and squashes the following commits:
