[FLINK-2664] [streaming] Allow partitioned state removal
This PR changes the way Partitioned states handle null values.
Before this PR the user was not allowed to put null values in a partitioned
state and an exception was thrown. This did not allow the user to remove the
state for the current key (so the default value will be retreived next time).
Now whenever a user updates a partitioned state with a null value, the
system will remove the state for the respective key from that map containing
all the <key,state> pairs allowing for the garbage collection of unwanted user
state.
The StatefulOperatorTest has also been modified to test for the changed
behavior.
