the agent will go to its server's agentupdate/version URL to find out the current agent version. the agent will go to its server's agentupdate/download URL to download the agent update binary. We need to make those two URLs configurable. We want to be able to provide the ability for customers to host agent updates and their version files on a standalone/separate web server, different from the RHQ Servers. This will free up load on the RHQ servers by avoiding clobbering the RHQ Servers with version/download requests from agents.
agent can now be configured with the custom urls. there is code in here that falls back to using the server's URL (which is the default, since most times, the agent will be going to the server for this stuff). Here's the setup prompts: rhq.agent.agent-update.version-url rhq.agent.agent-update.download-url
