[FLINK-3869] WindowedStream.apply with FoldFunction is too restrictive This pull request removes the restriction that a WindowFunction in a fold/apply should emit the same type as the accumulator type of the fold. It brings the following changes to the Java and Scala APIs: - Deprecating `apply(ReduceFunction, WindowFunction)` and the restrictive `apply(Initial, FoldFunction, WindowFunction)` methods. - Replacing them with two methods : `reduce(ReduceFunction, WindowFunction)` and a non-restrictive `fold(Initial, FoldFunction, WindowFunction)`. - Changing some test classes to use the new methods.
