Added ResultTypeQueryable interface to TypeSerializerInputFormat.
It is currently impossible to use the `TypeSerializerInputFormat` with
generic Tuple types.
For example, [this example
gist](https://gist.github.com/aalexandrov/90bf21f66bf604676f37) fails with a
```
Exception in thread "main"
org.apache.flink.api.common.InvalidProgramException: The type returned by the
input format could not be automatically determined. Please specify the
TypeInformation of the produced type explicitly.

To fix the issue, I changed the constructor to take a `TypeInformation<T>`
instad of a `TypeSerializer<T>` argument. If this is indeed a bug, I think that
this is a good solution.
Unfortunately the fix breaks the API. Feel free to change it if you find a
more elegant solution compatible with the 0.8 branch.
