Review Comment:
   Good catch @pnowojski. This was one of the place I was not very confident 
with. As a hindsight, totally agree it was a bad design.
   
   The reason why I did that was as following:
   I was not sure if a CheckpointProperty will be valid if it is too far away 
from 
[these](https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/d8a4304b892412eab4c5c19b5deb84166943d3bb/flink-runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/runtime/checkpoint/CheckpointProperties.java#L246)
 pre-configured ones, so I was thinking of creating one as close to an existing 
pre-configured as possible. Meanwhile the public method to create a 
pre-configured CheckpointProperty was through 
[this](https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/d8a4304b892412eab4c5c19b5deb84166943d3bb/flink-runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/runtime/checkpoint/CheckpointProperties.java#L349)
 method with a `CheckpointRetentionPolicy`. And I did not notice the 
`@Internal` for the `CheckpointRetentionPolicy` just saw it was `public`.
   
   Meanwhile I would love to hear your thoughts 
   1. What checkpoint configurations we should expose in the restful API? Are 
there more general use cases requesting other configurations for checkpoint 
manual triggering (other than ours)?
   2. Or would it be better just to start with our specific use case - always 
only trigger a full checkpoint, i.e.  reuse all `CheckpointProperty` and only 
replace `CheckpointType` with [`FULL_CHECKPOINT 
`](https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/d8a4304b892412eab4c5c19b5deb84166943d3bb/flink-runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/runtime/checkpoint/CheckpointType.java#L30)
