AVRO-1568: Allow Java polymorphism in Avro for third-party code
The fix simply adds two APIs to ReflectData:
1) setSchema (Class<?> clazz, Schema s);
2) setSchema (Field field, Schema s);
With these two APIs, clients can create UNION schemas for any class/field
and set them accordingly.
With the UNION schema, avro can easily handle derived objects' presence on
base-class fields.
