[FLINK-6909] [FLINK-7450] [types] Improve the handling of POJOs and
clean-up type extraction
## Contribution Checklist
This PR solves a variety of issues that are related to the type extraction
of POJOs and tuples.
## What is the purpose of the change
Make the type extraction more stable and help users with more detailed
exceptions.
## Brief change log
- Until now, subclasses of tuples where not properly checked for additional
fields and serializability: Non-static subclasses of tuples or classes with no
default constructor were valid types.
- Even existing tests and Gelly classes where not implemented correctly.
- I fixed bugs related to bounded generic fields in POJOs.
- The type extractor has been refactored and simplified in order to have
more consistent behavior. E.g., getForClass was unable to determine subclasses
of tuples.
- Type extraction tests have been refactored to remove all warnings that
were present.
- I tested generated Lombok POJOs.
- Class cast execeptions in CSV reader have been fixed as well.
- I added a utility method `PojoTypeInfo.ensurePojo(MyPojo.class)` that
validates if a type is a POJO and throws an exception with reasons why the
given field is no POJO. I think this can help users a lot to avoid common
mistakes.
## Verifying this change
Tests have been added to `TypeExtractorTest`, `PojoTypeExtractionTest`.
Existing tests still run.
