[FLINK-6306][connectors] Sink for eventually consistent file systems
## What is the purpose of the change
This pull request implements a sink for writing out to an eventually
consistent filesystem, such as Amazon S3, with exactly once semantics.
## Brief change log
- The sink stages files on a consistent filesystem (local, hdfs, etc) .
- Once per checkpoint, files are copied to the eventually consistent
filesystem.
- When a checkpoint completion notification is sent, the files are marked
consistent. Otherwise, they are left because delete is not a consistent
operation.
- It is up to consumers to choose their semantics; at least once by
reading all files, or exactly once by only reading files marked consistent.
## Verifying this change
This change added tests and can be verified as follows:
- Added tests based on the existing BucketingSink test suite.
- Added tests that verify semantics based on different checkpointing
combinations (successful, concurrent, timed out, and failed).
- Added integration test that verifies exactly once holds during failure.
- Manually verified by having run in production for several months.
## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts:
- Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): no
- The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with
`@Public(Evolving)`: no
- The serializers: no
- The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): no
- Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its
components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper:no
## Documentation
- Does this pull request introduce a new feature? yes
- If yes, how is the feature documented? JavaDocs
