Update avrorouter and the related tutorial

The avrorouter now uses the parameters from the source service. This
removes the need for redundant parameter definition in the avrorouter
service when they are defined in the binlogrouter service as parameters.

Added some missing configuration sanity checks and updated the tutorial to
reflect the new configuration method introduced in 2.1.

You can see that the `source` parameter in the _avro-service_ points to the
_replication-service_ we defined before. This service will be the data source
for the avrorouter. The _filestem_ is the prefix in the binlog files and the
additional _avrodir_ router_option is where the converted Avro files are stored.
For more information on the avrorouter options, read the

information on the avrorouter options, read the
[Avrorouter Documentation](../Routers/Avrorouter.md).
After the services were defined, we added the listeners for the
_replication-service_ and the _avro-service_. The _CDC_ protocol is a new
protocol added with the avrorouter and, at the time of writing, it is the only
supported protocol for the avrorouter.

The avrorouter uses the schema file to identify the columns, their names and
what type they are. The _name_ field contains the name of the column and the _type_
contains the Avro type. Read the [Avro specification](https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.1/spec.html)

All Avro schema files for tables that are not created in the binary logs need to

To use the _cdc.py_ command line client to connect to the CDC service, we must first
create a user. This can be done via maxadmin by executing the following command.
```
maxadmin call command cdc add_user avro-service maxuser maxpwd
```
This will create the _maxuser:maxpwd_ credentials which can then be used to
request a data stream of the `test.t1` table that was created earlier.
```
cdc.py -u maxuser -p maxpwd -h 127.0.0.1 -P 4001 test.t1
