[FLINK-3296] Remove 'flushing' behavior of the OutputFormat in DataStream
API
I removed the `FileSinkFunctionByMillis` and removed all the `millis`
arguments on the writing functions.
The whole "buffering" and "flushing" functionality was broken: Elements
were kept in an ArrayList and send to the OutputFormat on "flush()". However,
the flush was not really called periodically. It was only checked when new
records arrived. So when a stream is not having elements for a certain time,
the last few elements would just stay in the list until new elements arrive
again.
