Where new Text(string) might be used in client side method calls, add an 
overload that takes strings

                 Key: HBASE-522
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-522
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: client
            Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
            Priority: Trivial


There are a lot of places in our client side API where people probably don't 
care that Text is used in the underlying wire protocol. For instance, new 
HTable(HBaseConfig, Text) adds a little bit of extra hassle and code. 

Where it makes sense, we should make an overload for constructors and client 
methods that can take a String and just convert it into a Text behind the 
scenes. This would beautify some of our code.
