[FLINK-5075] [kinesis] Make Kinesis consumer fail-proof to incorrect
Kinesalite API behaviour
A user reported that when tested against Kinesalite (a widely used mock
Kinesis implementation), the connector was incorrectly determining already seen
shards as newly discovered.
The problem was that the connector was using the API
`describeStream(streamName, exclusiveStartIShardId)` to fetch shards of a
stream after the provided `exclusiveStartShardId` (given as the last id of the
latest shard we've already discovered), and Kinesalite behaves differently for
this from the official Kinesis API.
For example, if the current complete shard list is [shard-0, shard-1,
shard-2, shard-3] for "test-stream",
then `describeStream("test-stream", "shard-1")` should return: [shard-2,
shard-3].
Kinesalite, however, incorrectly returns the whole list.
I've manually tested this change against Kinesalite, and shard discovery is
working normally again.
