added jdbc interpreter I added a generalized JDBC interpreter for Zeppelin. It doesn't come packaged with any drivers to avoid licensing concerns (I saw a Mysql interpreter was rejected because of this and similar issues would arise with SQL Server). In order to use, you download your JDBC driver, go to the interpreter settings menu, create a '%jdbc' interpreter, and set your driver's name, type, and location. Right now it supports SQL Server, Mysql, and Postgresql. Since this interpreter uses java.sql.DriverManager, it supports all JDBC drivers with the same java code. However, JDBC driver names and connection url formats vary. The only thing needed to support a new backend is to modify JDBCConnectionUrlBuilder.java, and add a connection url method to use the right format for your backend. Tests are coming, I am currently unsure what the best testing strategy for this is, but I welcome advice.
