[FLINK-5820] [state backends] Split shared/exclusive state and properly
handle disposal
## What is the purpose of the change
This PR contains the final changes needed for [FLINK-5820]. Disposal of
checkpoint directories happens properly across all file system types
(previously did not work properly for some S3 connectors) with reduced calls to
the file systems. Shared and exclusive state are split into different
directories, to help implement cleanup safety nets.
## Brief change log
1. TaskManagers use the `CheckpointStorage` to create
`CheckpointStreamFactories`. Previously, these stream factories were created by
the `StateBackend`. This completes the separating out the "storage" aspect of
the `StateBackend` into the `CheckpointStorage`.
2. The location where to store state is communicated between the
`CheckpointCoordinator` (instantiating the original `CheckpointStorageLocation`
for a checkpoint/savepoint) and the Tasks in a unified manner. Tasks
transparently obtain their `CheckpointStreamFactories` always in the same way,
regardless of whether writing state for checkpoints or savepoints.
3. Checkpoint state now has the scope `EXCLUSIVE` or `SHARED`, which may
be stored differently. The current file system based backends put shared state
into a */shared* directory, while exclusive state goes into the */chk-1234*
directory.
4. Tasks can directly write *task-owned state* to a checkpoint storage.
That state neither belongs specifically to one checkpoint, nor is it shared and
eventually released by the Checkpoint Coordinator. Only the tasks themselves
may release the state. An example for that type of state are the *write ahead
logs* created by some sinks.
5. When a checkpoint is finalized, its storage is described by a
`CompletedCheckpointStorageLocation`. That object gives access to addressing,
metadata, and handles location disposal. This allows us to drop the *"delete
parent if empty"* logic in File State Handles and fixes the issue that
checkpoint directories are currently left over on S3.
**Future Work**
- In the future, the `CompletedCheckpointStorageLocation` should also be
used as a way to handle relative addressing of checkpoints, to allow users to
move them to different directories without breaking the internal paths.
- We can now implement disposal fast paths, like drop directory as a
whole, rather than dropping each state object separately. However, one would
still need to release drop shared state objects individually. Finishing these
fast paths is currently blocked on some rework of the shared state handles, to
make their selective release easier and more robust.
## Verifying this change
This change can be verified by running a Flink cluster with a checkpointed
program and
This PR also adds and adjusts various unit tests to guard the new behavior.

[FLINK-8539] [checkpointing] (part 1) Introduce
CompletedCheckpointStorageLocation to properly handle disposal of checkpoints.
That concept allows us to properly handle deletion of a checkpoint storage,
for example deleting checkpoint
directories, or the dropping of a checkpoint specific table.
This replaces the current workaround for file systems, where every file
disposal checks if the parent
directory is now empty, and deletes it if that is the case. That is not
only inefficient, but
prohibitively expensive on some systems, like Amazon S3.

[FLINK-8540] [checkpointing] FileStateHandles no longer attempt to clean up
their parent directory.
Performing directory contents checks and cleaning up the parent directory
in the state handle disposal
has previously led to excessive file system metadata requests, which
especially on systems like
Amazon S3 is prohibitively expensive.
