Fixes TextIO and AvroIO tests of watchForNewFiles
* AvroIO: Need to specify a trigger to make sure that files are really
generated continuously and testing of watchForNewFiles is non-vacuous.
* TextIO: files were generated by manual code, and sometimes writing of a
file could race with TextIO reading it, and it might see the same file with two
different sizes, and count it as two different files (two Metadata objects for
the same filename with different sizes are not equal) and read the file twice.
It makes sense to address that separately: e.g. in the Watch transform
allow specifying a key extractor - but it's outside the scope of this PR and
tracked in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3030.
