[FLINK-7366][kinesis connector] Upgrade kinesis producer library in
flink-connector-kinesis
## What is the purpose of the change
We need to upgrade KPL and KCL to pick up the enhanced performance and
stability for Flink to work better with Kinesis. Upgrading KPL is specially
necessary, because the KPL version Flink uses is old, and doesn't have good
retry and error handling logic.
**Upgrade KPL:**
flink-connector-kinesis currently uses kinesis-producer-library 0.10.2,
which is released in Nov 2015 by AWS. It's old. It's the fourth release, and
thus problematic. It doesn't even have good retry logic, therefore Flink fails
really frequently (about every 10 mins as we observed) when Flink writes too
fast to Kinesis and receives RateLimitExceededException,
Quotes from https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-producer/issues/56,
"With the newer version of the KPL it uses the AWS C++ SDK which should offer
additional retries." on Oct 2016. 0.12.5, the version we are upgrading to, is
released in May 2017 and should have the enhanced retry logic.
**Upgrade KCL:**
Upgrade KCL from 1.6.2 to 1.8.1
**Upgrade AWS SDK:**
from 1.10.71 to 1.11.171
## Verifying this change
This change is already covered by existing tests
## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts:
There should be any impact outside flink-connector-kinesis, because 1) KPL
and KCL is only used in flink-connector-kinesis, and 2) AWS SDK in
flink-connector-kinesis is shaded
