register directive should accept files and directories as well as jar files
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: PIG-1242
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1242
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Woody Anderson
            Priority: Minor


often i want to get files into the classpath (that are not necessarily .class files), and shipped to the mappers.
i can manually do this by jar'ing the file or dir and registering said jar, but it would be much simpler and more effective for pig to support this directly (as it unpacks said jar internally anyway).
it should have entirely the same semantic that register already has, but it should accept files/dirs that are not jar files.
