    For FLINK-6545 we need to familiarize the savepoint serializer with the new 
incremental handles, but currently they are in the RocksDB package, invisible 
for savepoint classes. 
    
    I am currently already working on making incremental snapshots a concept on 
a higher abstraction level, that is less tightly coupled to RocksDB. I think 
that we can then have incremental snapshots also for other backends, e.g. the 
memory based. The abstraction is simply, that all incremental snapshots can be 
divided into backend meta data, private data, newly created shared data and 
referenced shared data. Also the placeholder handle will become publicly 
available. Would this address comments? I could make those preparations already 
part of this PR.
