Description

As per Groups discussion: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/gremlin-users/pMu5Syu6fyo

Allow a Gremlin client to issue a query to get settings from the server.

For example, from the client I want to know the setting for maxContentLength.

Use case: If the client knows this value then the client will know if it's about to submit a query that's too large and can provide more useful feedback about why it's about to fail.
