Tim Armstrong 6b90aa3a11 IMPALA-4653: fix sticky config variable problem
Previously we could get a developer's shell into a bad state where a
value of a config variable from a previous impala-config.sh version
would override the value from the new impala-config.sh version.

This change adds a new mechanism to override settings locally by adding
settings to impala-config-local.sh. This alternative approach is more
robust, because the config variables will be reset to the intended
values when impala-config.sh is re-sourced.

impala-config-branch.sh can also be used to override settings in a
version-controlled way, e.g. to support having different settings for
different branches.

I did not convert all variables to use this approach, since many people
and Jenkins jobs depend on setting these variables from the environment.
The remaining "sticky" variables are ones where default values should
not change frequently, e.g. source directory locations and build
settings.
