> Add option for persistent checkpoints

> Key: FLINK-4512

>
> Allow periodic checkpoints to be persisted by writing out their meta data.
> This is what we currently do for savepoints, but in the future checkpoints
> and savepoints are likely to diverge with respect to guarantees they give for
> updatability, etc.
> This means that the difference between persistent checkpoints and savepoints
> in the long term will be that persistent checkpoints can only be restored
> with the same job settings (like parallelism, etc.)
> Regular and persisted checkpoints should behave differently with respect to
> disposal in *globally* terminal job states (FINISHED, CANCELLED, FAILED):
> regular checkpoints are cleaned up in all of these cases whereas persistent
> checkpoints only on FINISHED. Maybe with the option to customize behaviour on
> CANCELLED or FAILED.
