[Feature Request]: Hop server enhancement

What would you like to happen?

The hop-server.bat command has 3 setup modes

SETUP BY CONFIG FILE: hop-server.bat hop-server-config.xml
SETUP BY SERVER NAME: hop-server.bat -n HOPSERVER01 --gs
SETUP BY HOSTNAME AND PORT: hop-server.bat <hostname> <port> <shutdownport> -k -u=<user> -p=<password>

1) Remove the last mode because it's buggy and doesn't allow the command to indicate which protocol to use: HTTP or HTTPS)

2) All config parameters must have a command line option, add the following:

--host
--port
--shutdownport
--ssl
--proxyhost
--proxyport

3) If you are using config file or named server mode, it should be possible to override certain properties on the command line: hop-server.bat hop-server-config.xml -gs -u=<user> -p=<password> hop-server.bat -n HOPSERVER01 -proxyhost=192.0.0.1 -proxyport=8080

4) Add command line options --help and --version

5) Add the command to stop a remote server on a shutdown port requiring authentication. hop-server.bat hop-server-config.xml --kill hop-server.bat -n HOPSERVER01 -k -shutdowport=8082

6) Code cleanup

Create an org.apache.hop.www.RemoteHopServer class to interact with a Hop server, and thus remove a few of methods from HopServerMeta. HopServerMeta would then become pure metadata.
