Review Comment:
   I believe the only options we have are:
   1.  Drop the DataGen ITCase                                                  
   - not good
   2. Move the DataGen ITCase into `flink-streaming-java`        - weird
   3. Continue with the `flink-connector-datagen-tests` split       - not 
great, not terrible (c)
   4. Move `#fromCollection()` methods into `flink-datagen`       - not great 
because it breaks the familiar pattern, but since a lot of things will probably 
change in 2.0 anyway, this should be fine. An open question is whether we want 
to also add a dependency from `flink-datagen` to `flink-streaming-java`. This 
will improve usability, otherwise the end result will look somewhat like this: 
   ```
   Collection<Integer> data = ...;
   DataGenSource<Integer> collectionSource = DataGenSource.fromCollection(data);
   DataStreamSource<Integer> source = env.fromSource(collectionSource,
                           WatermarkStrategy.forMonotonousTimestamps(),
                           "Collection source")
                   .forceNonParallel();
   ```
   Especially the necessity for the `forceNonParallel()/setParallelism(1)` call 
is concerning because it is easy to forget. 
   WDYT?
