[FLINK-1159] Case style anonymous functions not supported by Scala API
The proposed API extension methods would allow developers to pass a pattern
matching anonymous function so that they are applied on a `DataSet` or
`DataStream`; many methods defined on the `DataSet` and `DataStream` APIs don't
support those functions due to the overloading[[1]][[2]]; pattern matching
anonymous functions allow a very idiomatic approach in Scala to *decompose
tuples, case classes and collections*.
The PR does not pollute the original `DataSet` and `DataStream` APIs but is
provided as an optional set of extensions methods, implemented via implicit
conversions and made available to the developer by explicitly importing the
required package, e.g.:
```scala
import org.apache.flink.api.scala.extensions.acceptPartialFunctions
env.fromElements('a -> 1, 'b -> 2).mapWith {
case (key, value) =>
... // key and value are now available and have a sensible name
}
```
