Description

Not really a big issue but I found out Zookeeper chroot's can't be used with Ambry. For example using the following connection string to chroot Ambry in Zookeeper in `/ambry-misc`:
```
zookeeper-1.foo.bar:2181/ambry-misc
```
will cause errors with Ambry storage nodes, the Helix bootstrap tool and probably a slew of other things.

As a workaround ACL's can be used instead.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported connection string, zookeeper-1.foo.bar:2181/ambry-misc, against the storage nodes and the Helix bootstrap tool. Trace how each entry point handles the ZooKeeper path, then verify that Ambry works from the chroot without relying on the ACL workaround.
