[FLINK-3267] Disable reference tracking in Kryo fallback serializer
Before this commit, Kryo runs extra logic to track and resolve repeated
references to
the same object (similar as JavaSerialization)
This disables reference tracking because
- reference tracking is costly
- it is virtually always unnecessary in the datatypes used in Flink
- it is inconsistent with Flink's own serialization (which does not do
reference tracking)
- it may have problems if elements are read in a different order than
they are written.
