    [FLINK-5051] Backwards compatibility for serializers in backend state

    This PR sits on top of PR #2781 and introduces backwards compatibility for 
state serializers in keyed backends. We do so by providing version 
compatibility checking for ``TypeSerializer`` and making the serializers 
mandatory part of a keyed backend's meta data in checkpoints (so that we have 
everything required to reconstruct states in a self contained way). A 
serialization proxy is introduced for keyed backend state. Currently this 
serialization proxy covers the meta data, not yet the actual data. As the PR 
essentially moves functionality to a different place, it is already covered by 
existing tests.
    
    Notice: we should introduce a similar approach for 
``OperatorStateBackend``s.
