I've been mulling ideas for script rework and one idea that I've been
leaning toward is a master script that all calls go through. It's not that
different from how we operate now, just things like start all, tup, etc all
get called through a single source. This would allow a single source for
script actions against Accumulo.

Just to be clear, this doesn't mean all of the code will necessarily be in
a single location. But it does mean we can remove code duplication in our
scripts.

The biggest con is the change in behavior. Though this may not be a bad
thing since we do have a lot of scripts in bin already, so it may improve
user experience as long as we make the usage info of the new script
informative enough.

What say ye, devs?
