FLUME-2442 Need an alternative to providing clear text passwords in flume
config
Adding an interface with 3 implementations to provide functionality at the
configuration level to replace variables/keys from external sources. This
component is capable of hiding sensitive information or injecting generated
data into the configuration.
The implementation affects only the configuration layer so existing
components (sinks/sources/channels/etc) does not have to change and new
components can already have it through the configuration.
New custom implementations can be easily added even in plugin form.
Each implementation has unit tests in their module and an integration test
in the flume-ng-tests module.
