Description

Bigtop may manage apache patches.

Motivation 1: component build fails due to some apache patches. bigtop don't need to wait for component rebase to workaround component build failure.

Example 1) Hadoop build fails in bigtop-0.6.0/bigtop-0.7.0 build fails due to HADOOP-10110.patch missing.
Example 2) flume 1.4.0 build fails due to Flume-2172

Motivation 2: third party can use bigtop to manage apache or vendor patches (Not bigtop goal, but if more people use bigtop to do distribution, bigtop is more stable)
