Description

The variable name was changed in [PR 4](https://github.com/linkedin/dr-elephant/pull/4/files#diff-81165fc8abb0ab49496bbf329e9efeedc7df0e667f85b4dcfa5c77f6f2c2e799).

But the [Wiki Quick Setup](https://github.com/linkedin/dr-elephant/wiki/Quick-Setup-Instructions-(Must-Read)) still uses the old name.

Please update the Wiki to use `jvm_args`. I tried to find if I can send a PR for this, but seems like Wiki cannot be forked by external users. If I have missed something & if it'd help if I send a PR, please point to how I can do it & I'll be happy to raise a PR too.
