[FLINK-2940] [JavaAPI] Remove Chill dependency from flink-java.
This PR replaces `flink-java`'s `chill` dependency by `chill-java` to
decouple `flink-java` from Scala.
Chill is used within the `KryoSerializer` to obtain a "Scala-preconfigured"
Kryo instance. Hence, Chill is still required for Scala DataSet or DataStream
programs. Separate KryoSerializers for Scala and Java are hard to provide,
because `GenericTypeInformation` can be generated through the `TypeExtractor`,
`TypeParser`, and the Scala compiler marko.
In this PR, the `KryoSerializer` tries to dynamically load Chill's
`ScalaKryoInstantiator` and generate a Kryo instance through reflection to
circumvent the Chill dependency. As a fallback, a regular Kryo instance is
created. Consequently, Chill's Kryo instance is used whenever Chill is present
in the classpath. To ensure that client, JM, and TM have Chill in their
classpath, we add Chill as a dependency to `flink-client`.
**Note**: Before merging, we need to check if this works for Java and Scala
programs which are submitted to a cluster (including some collection data
sources which are serialized at the client).
