AVRO-1562: Support classes extending Maps/Collections in Avro
For classes extending collections and maps, "_avro_implicit_collection_"
and "_avro_implicit_map_" fields are added in the Avro representation while the
class itself continues to hold other fields normally like a record.
The implicit field-names are currently hardcoded as above.
We will need to have an API in ReflectData for making this configurable.
We may also need some name-mangling to have different names for classes
extending different parameterized collections/maps.
