Description

For scenarios where the AppMaster is launched from a docker image, it would be ideal to use the installed Flink rather than rely on a special file layout in the sandbox directory.

This is related to DCOS integration, which (in 1.2) will launch the AppMaster via Marathon (as a top-level DCOS service). The existing code assumed that only the dispatcher (coming in 1.3) would launch the AppMaster.
