This PR lays the foundation for exposing the properties to begin with. My
thought was that it reduces one error prone manual step of hand-editing the
`pcap.properties` file. I agree with your point about how users might be
concerned about restarting all parsers after modifying PCAP config.
I did not create this earlier under the feature branch since this was not
related specifically to the PCAP query panel, it was a more generic change.
I am fine to move this under the feature branch or I could wait until the
fix for METRON-1709 (making the PCAP service its own) is available and then
submit a fresh PR. Let me know which one works better.
