    [FLINK-1325] Add Java ClosureCleaner

    This also adds the ExecutionConfig, where the user can enable/disable the 
closure cleaner and other settings. I'm also planning to use this for the 
object-reuse settings in the future.

>             Project: Flink
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Java API
>            Reporter: Stephan Ewen
>            Assignee: Aljoscha Krettek
>
> The Java API could really need a simple closure cleaner.
> All functions that are implemented as anonymous subclasses hold a reference 
> to the enclosing class, unless they are implemented as part of a static 
> method.
> That reference (called {{this$0}}) causes serialization to fail, as it draws 
> non serializable classes into the function, even in cases where the function 
> makes no access to the enclosing data.
> It is possible to manually set this reference to {{null}}, using reflection, 
> or using a debugger. Then the serialization succeeds.
> I suggest to add a closure cleaner that uses an ASM visitor over the 
> function's code to see if there is any access to the {{this$0}} field. In 
> case there is non, the field should be set to {{null}}.
> The problem can be reproduced with the simple program below:
> {code}
> public class Test {
>   public void runProgram() throws Exception {
>     ExecutionEnvironment env = ExecutionEnvironment 
> .getExecutionEnvironment();
>     env.generateSequence(1, 10)
>         .map(new MapFunction<Long, Long>() {
>           public Long map(Long value) {
>             return value * 2;
>           }
>         })
>         .print();
>     env.execute();
>   }
>   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
>     new Test().runProgram();
>   }
> }
> {code}
