Add REST API endpoints for WAGED Rebalancer (#611)

We want to make WAGED rebalancer (weight-aware) easier to use. One way to do this is to allow the user to easily add resources with weight configuration set by providing REST endpoints. This change adds the relevant REST endpoints based on the HelixAdmin APIs added in (#570).

Basically, this commit uses existing REST endpoints whose hierarchy is defined by REST resource. What this commit does to the existing endpoints is 1) Add extra commands 2) Add a WAGED command as a QueryParam so that WAGED logic could be included.

This change is backward-compatible because it keeps the original behavior when no commands are provided by using @DefaultValue annotation.

WHAT IS HELIX

Helix is a generic cluster management framework used for automatic management of partitioned, replicated and distributed resources hosted on a cluster of nodes. Helix provides the following features:

  1. Automatic assignment of resource/partition to nodes
  2. Node failure detection and recovery
  3. Dynamic addition of Resources
  4. Dynamic addition of nodes to the cluster
  5. Pluggable distributed state machine to manage the state of a resource via state transitions
  6. Automatic load balancing and throttling of transitions
