[FLINK-3410] [restart] Choose NoRestart strategy if the number of retries
is set to 0
This fixes the problem that when checkpointing is enabled and the number of
execution retries is set to `0` that the automatic restarting should be
deactivated. This is consistent with the semantics before the restart
strategies where introduced.
Be aware, though, that whenever you enable checkpointing for streaming
jobs, the cluster wide default restart strategy which is set in the
configuration will always be overwritten. Either by manually setting a restart
strategy or by automatically setting a
`FixedDelayRestartStrategy(Integer.MAX_VALUE, 10000)` strategy in the
`StreamingJobGraphGenerator` if nothing was specified. That is consistent with
the previous behaviour where all default execution retry attempts set in the
configuration where overwritten in case of a checkpointed streaming job.
Additionally, this PR sets the default retry delay to 10000 ms and
disallows to set it to negative values. Before, the default execution retry
delay would have been used if the delay in the `ExecutionConfig` was set to
`-1`. However, with the new `RestartStrategies` there is no longer the
possibility to set an explicit execution retry delay independent of the number
of retries in the configuration file. Therefore it is no longer possible to set
the number of execution retries in the configuration file and to specify the
execution retry delay in the `ExecutionConfig` or vice versa. Both have to be
defined either in the `ExecutionConfig` or the configuration file.
