[FLINK-8090] [DataStream] Improve the error message for duplicate state name ## What is the purpose of the change This PR improves the error message when users trying to access two states of different types, but with an identical name. However, it cannot detect two states of the same type and name, but are registered via two descriptors. ## Brief change log Refactor `DefaultKeyedStateStore.java` to raise an error message when the required state type does not match the real state type. ## Verifying this change The change can be verified by existing tests. ## 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) - The S3 file system connector: (no) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
