Description

We need to support packaging additionalDetails.html as part of a Python Processor.

We also need to figure out how to (and document how to) package a Python Processor using Pypi so that custom processors can be easily made available to others. We should follow a common convention of detecting any package that has a well-known prefix, such as "nifi-" and import those as Processors when searching for new Python Processors.
