[FLINK-8737][network] disallow creating a union of UnionGate instances
## What is the purpose of the change
Recently, the `InputGate#pollNextBufferOrEvent()` was added but not
implemented in `UnionInputGate`. It is, however, used in
`UnionInputGate#getNextBufferOrEvent()` and thus any `UnionInputGate`
containing a `UnionInputGate` would have failed already. There should be no use
case for wiring up inputs this way. Therefore, fail early when trying to
construct this.
## Brief change log
- throw an `UnsupportedOperationException` when trying to use a
`UnionInputGate` for input to a `UnionInputGate`
## Verifying this change
This change is a trivial rework / code cleanup without any test coverage.
