Update the Books section on the documentation page to reference the latest editions:

Book Old New
Learning Spark 1st Edition (2015) by Karau et al. 2nd Edition (2020) by Damji, Wenig, Das, Lee
Spark in Action 1st Edition (2017) by Bonaci/Zecevic 2nd Edition (2020) by Jean-Georges Perrin
Advanced Analytics with Spark 1st Edition (2015) 2nd Edition (2017) by same authors
Spark: The Definitive Guide (missing) Added — by Bill Chambers and Matei Zaharia (2018)

Also fixes http://https:// for O'Reilly URLs.

Why are the changes needed?

The current book listings point to outdated 1st editions. The 2nd editions cover Spark 2.x/3.x and are significantly more relevant. "Spark: The Definitive Guide" by Spark's creator was not listed at all.
