[FLINK-5944] Support reading of Snappy files
## What is the purpose of the change
Support reading of Snappy compressed text files (both Xerial and Hadoop
snappy)
## Brief change log
- *Added InputStreamFactories for Xerial and Hadoop snappy*
- *Added config parameter to control whether Xerial or Hadoop snappy
should be used*
## Verifying this change
- *Manually verified the change by running word count for text files
compressed using different Snappy versions*

[FLINK-5944] Support reading of Snappy files
----
> Flink should support reading Snappy Files
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-5944
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5944
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Batch Connectors and Input/Output Formats
> Reporter: Ilya Ganelin
> Assignee: Mikhail Lipkovich
> Labels: features
>
> Snappy is an extremely performant compression format that's widely used
> offering fast decompression/compression.
> This can be easily implemented by creating a SnappyInflaterInputStreamFactory
> and updating the initDefaultInflateInputStreamFactories in FileInputFormat.
> Flink already includes the Snappy dependency in the project.
> There is a minor gotcha in this. If we wish to use this with Hadoop, then we
> must provide two separate implementations since Hadoop uses a different
> version of the snappy format than Snappy Java (which is the xerial/snappy
> included in Flink).
