Description

At the moment FLINK_CONF_DIR is not passed to the job manager and task manager when they are started over SSH.  This means that if the user has a locally set FLINK_CONF_DIR that is not configured by their login shell, it is not used by the launched job manager and task manager which can result in silently failing to launch if there are errors due to Flink not using the correct config dir.

One particular inconsistency is that a TaskManagers may be launched locally (without ssh) on localhost, but JobManagers are always launched over ssh.  In my particular case this meant that the TaskManager launched but the JobManager silently failed to launch.
