Description

Currently, NiFiProperties has two sets of the same properties keys:

    public static final String SENSITIVE_PROPS_KEY = "nifi.sensitive.props.key";
    public static final String SENSITIVE_PROPS_ALGORITHM = "nifi.sensitive.props.algorithm";
    public static final String SENSITIVE_PROPS_PROVIDER = "nifi.sensitive.props.provider";

and

    // encryptor properties
    public static final String NF_SENSITIVE_PROPS_KEY = "nifi.sensitive.props.key";
    public static final String NF_SENSITIVE_PROPS_ALGORITHM = "nifi.sensitive.props.algorithm";
    public static final String NF_SENSITIVE_PROPS_PROVIDER = "nifi.sensitive.props.provider";

These are to be used primarily via the encryptor, but it also duplicates these keys:

    public static final String NF_SENSITIVE_PROPS_KEY = "nifi.sensitive.props.key";
    public static final String NF_SENSITIVE_PROPS_ALGORITHM = "nifi.sensitive.props.algorithm";
    public static final String NF_SENSITIVE_PROPS_PROVIDER = "nifi.sensitive.props.provider";

despite referencing the NiFiProperties class.

We should clean up the number of instances and remove the extraneous items.
