Thanks for the review! Although the changes in `DelimitedInputFormat` don't
break the API according to the API Maven plugin, we can simply deprecate the
existing method and call the new method from it. That should be safe.
Regarding the other changes in behavior (removing XML loading, only loading
from one flink-conf.yaml file instead of all Yaml/Xml files found): All these
changes are in line with our documentation which doesn't mention the removed
features. However, I agree that some users may rely on this. All in all, it
might be safer to merge this immediately to the master after we have forked off
the release branch.
