Updating RPM build to fix bootstrap dependencies
This is a potential fix to NIFI-1454 "Built RPMs Do Not Result in Working
NiFi Installation". The fix involves adding all dependencies to
`lib/bootstrap` by default, then excluding the entire laundry list of NAR file
dependencies. This is ugly, with the following pros and cons:
**Pros**:
- It results in a working install
**Cons**:
- Unnecessary duplicate transitive dependencies are left in both `lib` and
`lib/bootstrap` as a result of using two `<exclude>` lists
- Excluding the detailed list of NAR files implies an increase in future
nifi-assembly POM maintenance as new modules are added
- Failure to maintain the detailed exclude list will result in more
unnecessary duplicate files (but not breaking)
I haven't figured out a more elegant solution, but I believe this is an
incremental improvement.
