Reset the WAGED rebalancer once the controller newly acquires leadership. (#690)

This is to prevent any cached assignment information which is recorded during the previous session from impacting the rebalance result.
Detailed change list:

Move the stateful WAGED rebalancer to the GenericHelixController object instead of the rebalance stage. This is for resolving the possible race condition between the event processing thread and leader switch handling thread.
Adding a new test regarding leadership switch to verify that the WAGED rebalancer has been reset after the processing.

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
