Enable self-service deployment of new JARs, JKS and custom libraries without requiring NFS or S3 buckets and without requiring SDC restarts

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Very often users want to add new jars or have their own java key stores.  Currently, these are done administratively and that too requires an S3 or NFS location and then requires a restart of the data collector.  This involves engaging the administration team.  It would be more efficient from a development standpoint to have users do this in a self-service manner with the jars located in the control hub and made available to the SDC (ie. no need of S3 or NFS buckets).  In addition, restart of the SDC again involves the admin teams.  Need to avoid / eliminate that.
