Issue MESOS-2830: Add an endpoint to slaves to allow launching system administration tasks
As a System Administrator often times I need to run a organization-mandated task on every machine in the cluster. Ideally I could do this within the framework of mesos resources if it is a "cleanup" or auditing task, but sometimes I just have to run something, and run it now, regardless if a machine has un-accounted resources (Ex: Adding/removing a user). Currently to do this I have to completely bypass Mesos and SSH to the box. Ideally I could tell a mesos slave (With proper authentication) to run a container with the limited special permissions needed to get the task done.
