    METRON-1188: Ambari global configuration management broken

    ## Contributor Comments
    This PR addresses https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1188
    
    There are a number of issues with Ambari configuration management with the Metron configuration stored in Zookeeper. I wanted to get this PR out for discussion while I finish testing/tweaking docs around this because this is a fairly major defect. This is one part new features, one part defect fixes. Here's the quick gist:
    
    - Added ability to patch JSON configs per RFC-6902
    - Added ability to patch/push/pull/dump individual config types, e.g. GLOBAL, PARSERS, ENRICHMENTS, etc.
    - Added ability to patch/push/pull/dump individual configuration names given a specific config type, e.g. PARSERS + 'bro'
    - Fixed the order of operations around configuration refresh
      - On first service start, these steps are performed
        - push zookeeper config (initialize zookeeper configs)
        - run the start/restart commands
        - set "configured" flag so this initial setup doesn't run again
      - On service start or restart
         - create a patch file for the global config in /tmp
         - read global config from zookeeper, apply patch via new CLI zk_load_configs.sh option (note: I am pretty print formatting the JSON on writing to Zookeeper. ConfigurationManager is a bit of a monstrosity right now, and we should probably clean it up at some point. There are still some modes (PUSH) that miss the pretty print code and I'll work to fix those up also)
         - pull zookeeper config locally
    - Added timestamps in the "configured" flag files. Yes, I know you can stat a file, but I like explicitly stating in the file when Ambari suggests it wrote to disk :)
    - Ambari now patches configuration in an additive way. Note: Any specific configs managed by Ambari will overwrite user changes to those parameters. Here's the patch excerpt from metron_service.py
    ```
    patch_template = """
      [
        {
            "op": "add",
            "path": "/es.clustername",
            "value": "{{ es_cluster_name }}"
        },
        {
            "op": "add",
            "path": "/es.ip",
            "value": "{{ es_url }}"
        },
        {
            "op": "add",
            "path": "/es.date.format",
            "value": "{{es_date_format}}"
        },
        {
            "op": "add",
            "path": "/parser.error.topic",
            "value": "{{parser_error_topic}}"
        },
        {
            "op": "add",
            "path": "/update.hbase.table",
            "value": "{{update_hbase_table}}"
        },
        {
            "op": "add",
            "path": "/update.hbase.cf",
            "value": "{{update_hbase_cf}}"
        },
        {
            "op": "add",
            "path": "/profiler.client.period.duration",
            "value": "{{profiler_period_duration}}"
        },
        {
            "op": "add",
            "path": "/profiler.client.period.duration.units",
            "value": "{{profiler_period_units}}"
        }
      ]
      """
    ```
    - removed the global.json.j2 template file and moved a default global.json to metron-common. Modified the assembly.xml and the RPM metron.spec to included this accordingly also.
    - Fixed global config not updating based on Ambari parameters - look at the Metron status_params.py file to see the changes. Also updated the parameter names to be consistent and modified metron-env.xml and metron-enrichment.xml to properly include these params as well.
    
    A friendlier, detailed testing plan for this is coming very soon. Minimally, you should be able to spin up full dev without it failing. A green deployment is a major indicator we're looking good. I'm currently working through Kerberos testing and various restart combinations. Any of the parameters in that patch list above are good candidates to mess around with in Ambari to ensure they are cascaded to both Zookeeper and the local file system. Also check that any new parameters pushed from a local global.json change to Zookeeper, e.g. "blah" : "bloop", are not blown away by restarting Metron services.

> Ambari currently ignores values from the UI when managing the global.json file. These values are hard-coded in the status_params.py file as part of the mpack. In addition, Ambari restarts are clobbering configuration changes in Zookeeper.
