> Add a ToString transform in Java SDK

> Fix For: 0.5.0

>
> It is a common pattern in BEAM pipelines to convert a PCollection<T> to
> PCollection<String>. It involves the pipeline author having to write a
> SimpleFunction or DoFn that just calls the 'toString' method on each element
> and then use it through MapElements or a ParDo. Having a ToString transform
> would help avoid writing this boilerplate code.
