    A few more task framework improvement

    This pull request includes four diffs (with each described as below):
    
    1.  [HELIX-622] Add new resource configuration option to allow resource to 
disable emmiting monitoring bean.
      Description:
        Helix creates a set of metrics for each resource. Since job is treated 
as a regular resource by Helix, each job will emit a set of new metrics to our 
internal monitoring system. But these metrics are dynamic date metrics, most of 
them are empty, it is meaningless to put any alerts on them, they are barely 
used in practice, but merely consuming the metric name space.
    
      On the other hand, however, we still need some stable metrics (fix set of 
metric names) for operational team to monitor the queue and job running status.
    
      For short term solution, we can add an option in JobConfig to enable 
emitting a metric for this job, by default, this is disabled. As a next step, 
we will need to add a new set of metrics for jobs and workflows.
    
    
    2.  Do not expose internal configuration field name, this field names 
should be used only by Helix,  Client should always use JobConfig.Builder to 
create jobConfig, and construct jobConfig from HelixProperty before get fields 
from JobConfig. Client is not recommended to interpret fields from ZNRecord 
directly.
    
    3. Clean up integration tests for task framework, move shared parts to 
TaskTestUtil.java.
    
    4.  Job hung if the target resource does not exist anymore at the time when 
it is scheduled.
      Problem: When the job gets scheduled, if the target resource does not 
exist any more (e,g, database already deleted but the backup job is still 
there),  the job is stuck and all the rest of jobs are stuck.
     Change:If the target resource of a job does not exist, the job should be 
failed immediately.
