Description

There are a few repos in CDH that include the thrift_sasl.py file (at least impala, impyla, and hue). To avoid having them get out-of-sync, Uri created a repo (cloudera/thrift_sasl) that includes the latest version of the file, and it is registered on PyPI, so it can be installed with `pip install thrift_sasl`.

We should remove our own thrift_sasl.py and fix the environment to import this as a library instead. We will likely need to update our dev environment instructions, scripts, etc. to include the new python package to install.
