Netcool MessageBus password encryption

Within the MessageBus gateway (and probably probe) configs at $OMNIHOME/java/conf require passwords to be included like in KafkaClient.properties but does not allow those passwords to be encrypted, only the gateway.props can be. We need to be able to ensure all passwords can be stored encrypted. Please fix this for the message bus gateway and if necessary the probe as well.

Your documentation requires update as well as it says "The transport module inherits the configuration of ConfigCrytoAlg and ConfigKeyFile from the gateway properties." but this has proven and been verified by IBM L3 to not be the case (see support case TS003611137).
