[FLINK-8547][network] Implement CheckpointBarrierHandler not to spill data
for exactly-once
## What is the purpose of the change
*Currently in exactly-once mode, the BarrierBuffer would block inputs with
barriers until all inputs have received the barrier for a given checkpoint. To
avoid back-pressuring the input streams which may cause distributed deadlocks,
the BarrierBuffer has to spill the data in disk files to recycle the buffers
for blocked channels.*
*Based on credit-based flow control, every channel has exclusive buffers,
so it is no need to spill data for avoiding deadlock. Then we implement a new
CheckpointBarrierHandler for only buffering the data for blocked channels for
better performance.*
*And this new CheckpointBarrierHandler can also be configured to use or not
in order to rollback the original mode for unexpected risks.*
## Brief change log
- *Implement the new `CreditBasedBarrierBuffer` and
`CreditBasedBufferBlocker` for buffering data in blocked channels in
exactly-once mode.*
- *Define the parameter `taskmanager.exactly-once.blocking.data.enabled`
for enabling the new handler or not.*
## Verifying this change
