SPARK-1158: Fix flaky RateLimitedOutputStreamSuite.

There was actually a problem with the RateLimitedOutputStream implementation where the first second doesn't write anything because of integer rounding.

So RateLimitedOutputStream was overly aggressive in throttling.

Closes apache#55 from rxin/ratelimitest and squashes the following commits:
