@StephanEwen I have updated the PR as suggested. Changes include
1. Make `StateRegistry` to be `SharedStateRegistry` where only shared
states are registered. Now the `discardState()` method is supposed to delete
those private states in the checkpoint.
2. `SharedStateRegistry` now is deployed by the `CheckpointCoordinator`.
The state handle will register its shared states once it is received by the
coordinator. In another words, all shared states in a completed checkpoint are
registered when the checkpoint is added into the `CompletedCheckpointStore`.
All checkpoints (including savepoints) will unregister shared states when they
are removed from the store. Savepoints should not contain any shared state.
Therefore the unregistration will not discard any state in the savepoints.
3. When recovering from failures or restarting from a savepoint, the
`CheckpointCoordinator` will rebuild the registry with the checkpoints
recovered in the `CompletedCheckpointStore`.
4. Related tests are added to ensure correctness.
5. The conflicts with the master branch are resolved.
