TINKERPOP-1225: Do a "rolling reduce" for GroupXXXStep in OLAP.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1225
We now can do mid-barrier reductions in with `group()` on OLAP. This is
huge as this means that if you have an reducer in your `by()`-valueTraversal,
the stream is constantly reduced to limit memory consumption. Its more
expensive in terms of time (not by much) for small data, but for large data, no
worries about OME with group() (both both OLTP and OLAP).
CHANGELOG
```
* `GroupStep` and `GroupSideEffectStep` make use of mid-traversal reducers
to limit memory consumption in OLAP.
```

GroupStep and GroupSideEffectStep now make use mid-traversal barriers to do
data reduction on the fly in order to limite the memory footprint and reduce
the chances of OME. OLTP always did this, but now OLAP (which needs it more)
does it. This is epic. Also fixed a minor bug in ReducingBarrierStep. Added
some more GroupTest test cases -- one that does a groupCount() instead of a
group() just to make sure things are working as expected.
