> This change enables the use of HadoopGroupProvider identity-assertion provider to be configured by GatewayConfig rather than having to redundantly configure it in each topology that hosts the KNOX service.
> It allows for the configuration to be standard hadoop names with a "gateway.knox.admin.group.config." prefix. It is aligned with the KNOX_ADMIN_USERS and KNOX_ADMIN_GROUPS that were added to the AclsAuthz provider to allow that configuration to also be provided in the gateway config.
> In Ambari managed environments this will be easier for providing this config in one place and not even need to be able to manage manager.xml or others that need this information.
