Description

Support reading a file during stack construction that will define latest-release repo URL. The contents will look something like:

{
  “HDP-2.1” {
    “latest”: {
      “centos6”: “http://<centos6_source>”,
      “centos5”: “http://<centos5_source>”
      “suse11”: “http:/http://<suse11_source>"
    }
}

This file (or url) will provide the latest possible repo URL to use for creating new clusters. Both the XML-defined and installed URL will remain available.

The code will be written for the least possible disruption such that if the element is NOT provided or available, the existing functionality will work properly.
