[FLINK-7475] [core][state backend] support update() in ListState
## What is the purpose of the change
If users want to update the list, they have to do two steps:
```java
listState.clear()
for (Element e : myList) {
listState.add(e);
}
```
We should enable users to do such actions by providing an API
`listState.update(myNewList)`
## Brief change log
- Added `update()` API to `ListState`
- Added and updated unit/IT tests
- Updated Flink doc
`update()` can actually be an API in `AppendingState`, or at least in
`MapState`. We can consider it later.
## Verifying this change
This change added tests and can be verified in
`testListStateAddUpdateAndGet()`
## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts:
- The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with
`@Public(Evolving)`: (yes)
## Documentation
- Does this pull request introduce a new feature? (yes)
- If yes, how is the feature documented? (docs and JavaDocs)
