[SPARK-19616][SPARKR] weightCol and aggregationDepth should be improv…

…ed for some SparkR APIs

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

This is a follow-up PR of apache#16800

When doing SPARK-19456, we found that "" should be consider a NULL column name and should not be set. aggregationDepth should be exposed as an expert parameter.

## How was this patch tested?
Existing tests.

Closes apache#16945 from wangmiao1981/svc.
