> [JAVA] Restructure ValueVector hierarchy to minimize compile-time generated

> Issue Type: Improvement

> The templates used in the java package are very high mainteance and the if
> conditions are hard to track. As started in the discussion here:
> https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/1012, I'd like to propose that we modify
> the structure of the internal value vectors and code generation dynamics.
> Create new abstract base vectors:
> BaseFixedVector
> BaseVariableVector
> BaseNullableVector
> For each of these, implement all the basic functionality of a vector without
> using templating.
> Evaluate whether to use code generation to generate specific specializations
> of this functionality for each type where needed for performance purposes
> (probably constrained to mutator and accessor set/get methods). Giant and
> complex if conditions in the templates are actually worse from my perspective
> than a small amount of hand written duplicated code since templates are much
> harder to work with.
