Title: (Helenus) Switch from cassandra-client to helenus

The 2 major changes this brings are:

1. The mechanics of getting data from the row object. It's represented in a slightly different way
2. The start-up sequence needs to change a bit. For example, node-cassandra-client used a 'System' object to represent a connection to the 'system' keyspace, with Helenus we need to manually connect to System to ensure the existence of the keyspace. Perhaps someday we would specify VIA config whether or not the deployer wishes to have the keyspace/CFs automatically created.
