    [FLINK-1458] Allow Interfaces and abstract types in TypeExtractor

    Kryo already supports them, so it was just a question of the
    TypeExtractor allowing them.
    
    I also added tests for this.

> I don't know whether this is by design or is a bug, but I am having trouble working with DataSet and traits in scala which is a major limitation.  A simple example is shown below.  
> Compile time warning is 'Type Main.SimpleTrait has no fields that are visible from Scala Type analysis. Falling back to Java Type Analysis...'
> Run time error is 'Interfaces and abstract classes are not valid types: interface Main$SimpleTrait'
> Regards, John
>  val env = ExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment
>   trait SimpleTrait {
>     def contains(x: String): Boolean
>   }
>   class SimpleClass extends SimpleTrait {
>     def contains(x: String) = true

>   val data: DataSet[Double] = env.fromElements(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0)
