    [FLINK-1505] Separate reader API from result consumption

    @gyfora, can you please rebase on this branch and verify that everything is 
still working as expected for you?
    
    This PR separates the reader API (record and buffer readers) from result 
consumption (input gate). The buffer reader was a huge component with mixed 
responsibilities both as the runtime component to set up input channels for 
intermediate result consumption and as a lower-level user API to consume 
buffers/events.
    
    The separation makes it easier for users of the API (e.g. flink-streaming) 
to extend the handling of low-level buffers and events. Gyula's initial 
feedback confirmed this.
    
    In view of FLINK-1568, this PR makes it also easier to test the result 
consumption logic for failure scenarios.
    
    I will rebase #356 on this changes.
