> The following optimizations are done to improve the StandardScaler model transformation performance.
> 1) Covert Breeze dense vector to primitive vector to reduce the overhead.
> 2) Since mean can be potentially a sparse vector, we explicitly convert it to dense primitive vector.
> 3) Have a local reference to `shift` and `factor` array so JVM can locate the value with one operation call.
> 4) In pattern matching part, we use the mllib SparseVector/DenseVector instead of breeze's vector to make the codebase cleaner. 
> Benchmark with mnist8m dataset:
> Before,
> DenseVector withMean and withStd: 50.97secs
> DenseVector withMean and withoutStd: 42.11secs
> DenseVector withoutMean and withStd: 8.75secs
> SparseVector withoutMean and withStd: 5.437
> With this PR,
> DenseVector withMean and withStd: 5.76secs
> DenseVector withMean and withoutStd: 5.28secs
> DenseVector withoutMean and withStd: 5.30secs
> SparseVector withoutMean and withStd: 1.27
