[BEAM-2140] Execute Splittable DoFn directly in Flink Runner
Before, we were using ProcessFn. This was causing problems with the
Flink Runner for two reasons:
1. StatefulDoFnRunner is in the processing path, which means
processing-time timers are being dropped when the watermark reaches +Inf
2. When a pipeline shuts down (for example, when bounded sources shut
down) Flink will drop any outstanding processing-time timers, meaning
that that any remaining Restrictions will not be processed.
The fix for 1. is to execute the splittable DoFn directly, thereby
bypassing the late data/timer dropping logic.
The fix for 2. builds on the fix for 1. and also introduces a "last
resort" even-time timer that fires at +Inf and makes sure that any
remaining restrictions are being exhausted.
R: @jkff Not sure if we wan't to fix it like this or maybe adapt
`ProcessFn` and remove `StatefulDoFnRunner` from the processing path.
