Convert Knox topology file to provider and descriptor config files
Options are as follows:
--path (required) path to topology xml file
--provider-name (required) name of the provider json config file (including .json extension)
--descriptor-name (optional) name of descriptor json config file (including .json extension)
--topology-name (optional) topology-name can be use instead of --path option, if used, KnoxCLI will attempt to find topology from deployed topologies.
	 if not provided topology name will be used as descriptor name
--output-path (optional) output directory to save provider and descriptor config files
	 if not provided config files will be saved in appropriate Knox config directory
--force (optional) force rewriting of existing files, if not used, command will fail when the configs files with same name already exist.
--cluster (optional) cluster name, required for service discovery
--discovery-url (optional) service discovery URL, required for service discovery
--discovery-user (optional) service discovery user, required for service discovery
--discovery-pwd-alias (optional) password alias for service discovery user, required for service discovery
--discovery-type (optional) service discovery type, required for service discovery
