[FLINK-4711] Let the Task trigger partition state requests and handle their responses This PR makes changes the partition state check in a way that the Task is now responsible for triggering the state check instead of the SingleInputGate. Furthermore, the operation returns a future containing the JobManager's answer. That way we don't have to route the response through the TaskManager and can add automatic retries in case of a timeout. The PR removes the JobManagerCommunicationFactory and gets rid of the excessive PartitionStateChecker and ResultPartitionConsumableNotifier creation. Instead of creating for each SingleInputGate one PartitionStateChecker we create one for the TaskManager which is reused across all SingleInputGates. The same applies to the ResultPartitionConsumableNotifier. This PR is also a simplification for the Flip-6 implementation.
