Description

Only modifies mapred.JobClient:

• adds a -list command: hadoop job -list, to list currently running jobs from the CLI.
• moves and update the usage message (outdated) into a separate method
  • -kill does not accept anything else but <job-id>
  • -event takes 3 parameters
• simplified and corrected the arguments processing (unused for loop, accurate checks)
• -events did not work
• JobClient.close() is empty; should it be removed?
