incubator-zeppelin git commit: [ZEPPELIN-666] Change location of notebook authorization information.

Repository: incubator-zeppelin
Updated Branches:
  refs/heads/master 1a4e9ca22 -> 7e932e944


[ZEPPELIN-666] Change location of notebook authorization information.

### What is this PR for?
Currently, notebook authorization information is stored in the note file (note.json). The purpose of this PR is to store the authorization information in notebook-authorization.json in the conf directory. There is no change to the user experience.

The long-term goal is to make NotebookAuthorization an interface with implementation to store the authorization information with Shiro.

### What type of PR is it?
Improvement

### Todos
* [x] - Code review

### What is the Jira issue?
[ZEPPELIN-666](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-666)

### How should this be tested?
1. Enable Basic Auth Security by changing conf/shiro.ini.
1. Create a note. By default all operations are allowed by any authenticated user.
1. Update readers, writers and owners by clicking on the lock icon in the top right area.
1. Check if users can or cannot perform operations according to the permissions.
1. Check if notebook-authorization.json has correct authorization information.

### Screenshots (if appropriate)
Not applicable.

### Questions:
* Does the licenses files need update?   No
* Is there breaking changes for older versions?   No
* Does this needs documentation?   No
