Description

Rather than suggesting users run a client by adding their client jars to lib/ext (ref: 1.4, 1.5) we should provide an equivalent to the hadoop jar command.

$ ./bin/accumulo jar --help
usage: jar <jar | -?> [mainClass] [args]
Jar - Run Jar with Apache Accumulo
  -?,--help          display this help

Like the hadoop jar command, if the jar manifest defines a mainClass, it should use it. Otherwise, it should use the command line provided one.
