METRON-943: Create traffic connections report in zeppelin

## Contributor Comments

Adds a Zeppelin dashboard that lets the user get connection counts filtered by a CIDR block.

The implementation is a little kludgy because Spark/Hive don't have easy operations to handle things like IPs and CIDRs. I'd have liked to keep it in one paragraph, but the clunkiness around handling the ips and cidr made that a pain that seemed significantly worse. If someone knows an easy way to take care of it, I can quick try it.

Do we want/need similar paragraphs for the other sources? Given that we're primarily looking for volume of connections, it seems unnecessary, but it might be nice to have (possibly as a follow-on?) It's pretty to repeat the paragraphs as needed.

Also, let me know if there are any verbiage changes (since that came up on another dashboard), or other adjustments that should be made.

## Test Plan
To test, spin up full-dev. To get Yaf data, it'll be necessary to start the sensor-stub
```
service sensor-stubs start yaf
```

It'll also be necessary to add Yaf to the list of sensors run in Ambari. To do so, stop Metron, edit "Metron Parsers" to include "yaf" (or be yaf only). Start Metron and ensure a yaf topology is present.

Let data flow through.

Once some data has gone through, we'll need to have an instance of Zeppelin. Because of the size of the Vagrant instance, we'll want to shut down unneeded services. Shutdown Metron, Kibana, Storm, Kafka, and HBase.

Install Zeppelin from "Actions - Add Service". It'll prompt you to install Spark and Hive, do so. Configuration is pretty trivial, all that's necessary is to set an arbitrary Hive database password. Let this run. The Hive service check likes to fail on our Vagrant, but it's benign (some impersonation configuration issue unrelated to actually running our queries). Ignore it and accept the installation.

From Metron's "Service Actions", run the "Zeppelin Notebook Import", to load our notebooks into Zeppelin. Use the quick links to navigate to the Zeppelin UI.

Go into the "Metron - Connection Volume Report" notebook. Queries can be made by CIDR, e.g. 192.0.0.0/8 to get total amount of traffic by source or by destination IP range.

    perfect. + 1 on the dashboard.  Looks like travis failed, though
