[STORM-1851] Fix default nimbus impersonation authorizer config "nimbus.impersonation.authorizer" is set to "ImpersonationAuthorizer" by default and this causes issues when a user tries to submit topology as a different user in secure mode since the "nimbus.impersonation.acl" configuration is not set by default. Users need to set nimbus.impersonation.acl first before they can submit topology as any user other than "storm" in secure mode. Removing this config allows users to submit topologies in secure mode as any user by default. Users can set up impersonation by providing both authorizer and the acls via storm.yaml.
