[FLINK-8538] [table] Add a Kafka table source factory with JSON format ## What is the purpose of the change This PR is a continuation of #5505. Since this is the first connector with format, time attributes, and table source factory, I encountered many inconsistencies that I try to fix in this PR. ## Brief change log - Change property `connector.version` to `connector.property-version` in order to use `version` for things like Kafka - Add more utility functions for better Java<->Scala interoperability - Add full rowtime support - Derive JSON mapping from schema - Derive schema from source if required ## Verifying this change Various unit tests implemented. ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): yes - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: no - The serializers: no - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): no - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: no - The S3 file system connector: no ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature? yes - If yes, how is the feature documented?
