…how to add a flow definition to MiNiFi

Summary

Updated the MiNiFi Quick Start Guide to accurately reflect how a flow generated by NiFi can be used in a MiNiFi instance. There is a conversion step required using the MiNiFi toolkit to convert a JSON flow definition file to a format that can be used by MiNiFi.

Special Note: This quick start guide update should be made available to the website as soon as possible. Will this have to wait until the next release (2.6.0), or can it be updated before a release cycle?

Thanks for the documentation improvements @markobean, this looks good.

With the Release Candidate 2 vote in progress for NiFi 2.5.0, this is unlikely to be included unless there is some other problem. However, the project website links to the GitHub repository, so these changes will be reflected immediately.
