NIFI-4951: Update convertToAvroObject to use the DataTypeUtils conversion
function
The feature allows users to convert from non-integral types to the correct
underlying type. The
original behavior is maintained; however, now simple conversions take place
automatically for some
logical types (date, time, and timestamp).
This closes #2526.

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Derek Straka
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, AvroTypeUtil::convertToAvroObject assumes that the logical types
> have already been converted into their internal representation. While this
> may sometimes be the case, it would be useful to allow String->Logical type
> conversion. The feature can be added by using the appropriate
> DataTypeUtils::to<Logical Type> method rather than blindly attempting to use
> the underlying type. The DataTypeUtils already performs the integral type
> parsing, so the existing functionality remains intact.
