Fix race condition when outputting pushed-back elements in Flink Runner
This affected the Flink Streaming Runner DoFnOperator. The recent fix of
emitting pushed-back data when receiving a watermark on the first input
put the emission at the end of the method. This can cause the emitted
data to become late. The fix is to move the pushed-back element emission
to the start of the method.
`CombineTest.testSessionsCombineWithContext()` was flaky, because of this.
