 Description   

When installing MCS and running the postconfigure the root's .bashrc file is updated with MCS aliases (e.g. mcsadmin). This should be optional and hinted. Alternatively the aliases should be installed the 'modern' way in the /etc/profile.d directory.

plans - need to move the alias and non-root ENV settings from .bashrc to files in /etc/profile.d
For non-root - new file for Env settings called columnstoreEnv and file for aliases called columnstoreAlias
root - file for aliases called columnstoreAlias

post-install/pre-uninstall - change from using .bashrc to /etc/profile.d

postConfigure - will print a new message at the end that alias are in the specific file.

1 note - since this is setup in the post-install file, not adding any option to NOT setup the profile file. User can always go and delete that file, if they so choose.
