Description

Currently the CentOS development environment (`metron-deployment/development/centos6`) is based on an image metron/centos_base that has not been updated in 11 months.  This image is really just a snapshot of bento/centos6.7 from 11 months ago. The bento/centos6.7 image has not been updated in quite some time also.

On the other hand, the centos/6 image was updated 23 days ago. Presumably these images are receiving critical patches for long term support.

We should base the CentOS development environment `metron-deployment/development/centos6` on the centos/6 image so that we can be confident that Metron continues to work on the latest patches for the CentOS 6 series.

This would match what we do for the Ubuntu development environment which is based on  ubuntu/trusty64. This image continues to receive updates regularly despite the age of the Ubuntu 14 release. It was updated just 3 days ago.
