[FLINK-7595] [Savepoints] Allow removing stateless operators
## What is the purpose of the change
This PR reverts a regression where stateless operators could no longer be
removed from a job when loading a savepoint without setting the
`--allowNonRestoredState` flag. The check now explicitly checks whether the
state of an operator, that could not be mapped to the new program, is empty.
## Brief change log
* Modify `SavepointLoader` to check whether the unmapped state is actually
empty
* Modify `AbstractOperatorRestoreTestBase` to allow subclasses to set the
`--allowNonRestoredState` flag
* Add a modified version of `ChainLengthDecreaseTest` to prevent this issue
from re-emerging.
## Verifying this change
This change added tests and can be verified as follows:
Run `ChainLengthStatelessDecreaseTest`. Alternatively, run the reproducer
from the JIRA before and after the change.
## 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: (yes)
## Documentation
- Does this pull request introduce a new feature? (no)
- If yes, how is the feature documented? (not applicable)
This should be merged to 1.3 and master. Note that for 1.3 it may be
necessary to backport the `OperatorSubtaskState#hasState()` method.
