METRON-1599 Allow user to define global property 'source.type.field' in
Ambari
The user can specify the name of the message field containing the source
type in the global configuration. This is used by the Alerts UI.
Currently this necessitates a user using the CLI to add the field. This
property should be exposed to the user via Ambari. The user should be able to
define this property directly in Ambari.
## Testing
1. Launch the development environment.
1. Open the REPL and validate the current value of the global property
'source.type.field'.
```
[root@node1 ~]# source /etc/default/metron
[root@node1 ~]# $METRON_HOME/bin/stellar -z $ZOOKEEPER
Stellar, Go!
...
[Stellar]>>> globals := CONFIG_GET("GLOBAL")
{
...
"source.type.field" : "source.type",
...
}
```
1. Change the value in Ambari, then restart the Alerts UI using Ambari.

1. Open the REPL and validate that the value of the global property
'source.type.field' changed in the global config.
```
[Stellar]>>> globals := CONFIG_GET("GLOBAL")
{
...
"source.type.field" : "source:type",
...
}
```
