KAFKA-2475: Make Copycat only have a Converter class instead of Serializer,
Deserializer, and Converter.
The Converter class now translates directly between byte[] and Copycat's
data
API instead of requiring an intermediate runtime type like Avro's
GenericRecord
or Jackson's JsonNode.

>
> Ultimately, all we care about is getting from byte[] -> Copycat data API. The
> current split of the interfaces makes it easy to reuse existing serializers,
> but you still have to implement a new class.
> It will be simpler, both conceptually and by requiring fewer configs, to
> combine both these steps into a single API. This also allows certain formats
> to preserve more information across these (e.g. for primitive types in
> schema, which otherwise could lose certain schema information).
