add support for configuring Zk Watches
In our use case, we use `TreeCache` to get Zk Data periodically. We start
`TreeCache` read data and close it. In this use case, The `ZkWatchManager` of
`ZooKeeper` class keeps growing for every TreeCache operation because new
`TreeNode` objects are created and added there leading to a memory leak. Also
since we do not want the Watcher to periodically watch, this creates
unnecessary background operations.
In this PR, Made the createZkWatches configurable in the Builder, so that
use cases like ours can set it to false. The default is true, retaining the
current behaviour.
