Description of problem:
We need to have a unified way of defining system properties for Zanata.


How reproducible:
n/a

Steps to Reproduce:
n/a

Actual results:
Hibernate search and Java melody writes files to a location defined at build
time which is not flexible when deploy to different environment.

Expected results:
Add properties-service MBean into conf/jboss-service.xml so that we can define
system properties for various things on different environment. This requires no
re-build.

Additional info:
To define property for hibernate search index base:
- remove hibernate.search.default.indexBase property in
zanata-war/src/main/webapp-jboss/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml
- add following xml snippet into
$JBOSS_HOME/server/default/conf/jboss-service.xml
  <mbean code="org.jboss.varia.property.SystemPropertiesService"
      name="jboss:type=Service,name=MySystemProperties">
     <attribute name="Properties">
        javamelody.storage-directory=/var/lib/zanata/stats
        hibernate.search.default.indexBase=/var/lib/zanata/index
     </attribute>
   </mbean>
- make sure jboss user has write permission to above defined directories

Clean up no longer needed code/stuff:
- remove property env.hibernate.indexBase in zanata-war/pom.xml
- remove properties-services.xml under $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy
- remove zanata-war/src/etc/properties-service-sample.xml
