Tool interface should also support getUsage()

                 Key: HADOOP-6866
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6866
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Amar Kamat


Currently each and every _tool_ implementing the {{Tool}} interface is forced 
to manage their usage string. Since its a common piece of code, its better we 
factor it out. This can be useful in the following ways
# A proper lib like support for usage strings
# Forcing _tools_ (implementers of {{Tool}}) to expose their usage string
# Test cases can now use these well defined and exposed usage strings to test
