Review request for hbase.


Summary
-------

Problem:
There is no method in the HBase client-facing APIs to determine which of the 
masters is currently active.  This can be especially useful in setups with 
multiple backup masters.

Solution:
Augment ClusterStatus to return the currently active master and the list of 
backup masters.

Notes:
* I uncovered a race condition in ActiveMasterManager, between when it 
determines that it did not win the original race to be the active master, and 
when it reads the ServerName of the active master.  If the active master goes 
down in that time, the read to determine the active master's ServerName will 
fail ungracefully and the candidate master will abort.  The solution 
incorporated in this patch is to check to see if the read of the ServerName 
succeeded before trying to use it.
* I fixed some minor formatting issues while going through the code.  I can 
take these changes out if it is considered improper to commit such non-related 
changes with the main changes.


This addresses bug HBASE-5209.

Testing
-------

* Ran mvn -P localTests test multiple times - no new tests fail
* Ran mvn -P localTests -Dtest=TestActiveMasterManager test multiple runs - no 
failures
* Ran mvn -P localTests -Dtest=TestMasterFailover test multiple runs - no 
failures
* Started active and multiple backup masters, then killed active master, then 
brought it back up (will now be a backup master)
  * Did the following before and after killing
    * hbase fsck - checked output to see that active and backup masters are 
reported properly
    * zk_dump - checked that active and backup masters are reported properly
* Started cluster with no backup masters to make sure change operates correctly 
that way
* Ran dev-support/test-patch.sh - no new issues fail:
