(release-1.3) [FLINK-8001] [kafka] Mark subtask as IDLE instead of emitting
Long.MAX_VALUE watermark
## What is the purpose of the change
This is a backport of #4967 to `release-1.3`.
The additional change, compared to #4967, is that instead of emitting the
`Long.MAX_VALUE` watermark when a subtask has no Kafka partitions,
`sourceContext.markAsTemporarilyIdle()` is used instead.
## Brief change log
Only contains one commit, which addresses the above described issue.
## Verifying this change
A new test is added to AbstractFetcherTest, that verifies when there is no
subscribed partitions and the periodic watermark emitter fires, no watermark is
emitted.
