    METRON-1592 Unable to use third party parser with Storm versions >= 1.1.0

    When launching a third party parser using `$METRON_HOME/bin/start_parser_topology.sh` in HDP 2.6, Storm 1.1.0 the following exception is thrown.
     ```
    ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.metron.parsers.topology.MergeAndShadeTransformer
    ```
    ## Changes
    
    * Updated `$METRON_HOME/bin/start_parser_topology.sh` to detect the Storm version.
    
    * When using third party parsers and running a Storm version <1.1.0, the `MergeAndShadeTransformer` is used as it has been.
    
    * When using third party parsers with Storm versions >=1.1.0, the new `--jars` argument is used.
    
    * Updated the third party parsers README as the 'upload to zookeeper' step was out-of-order.  Also, corrected some minor formatting issues in the README.
    
    ## Testing
    
    * Launch a development environment.
    
    * Ensure that the Alerts UI is being populated with alerts.  This confirms that the the default parsers; like Bro and Snort that do not use 3rd party libs can be launched successfully.
    
    * Follow the example instructions in `metron-platform/metron-parsers/3rdPartyParser.md` to deploy a parser that uses a 3rd party library.  If the parser can be launched and parse messages, then this change is a success.
    
    * The development environments are based on HDP 2.6 with Storm 1.1.0.  If you want a gold star, spin this up in an environment based on HDP 2.5 and ensure that 3rd party parser can be launched.

    FYI - I also tested this on Ubuntu just to make sure the script-foo was portable.
