    [FLINK-1203] Deactivate fork reuse in tests ()

    Works around a potential surefire bug where we see confused class cast exceptions
    
    ```
    java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.flink.api.common.operators.base.DeltaIterationBase cannot be cast to org.apache.flink.api.common.operators.base.GroupReduceOperatorBase
    	at org.apache.flink.api.scala.operators.translation.DistinctTranslationTest.testCombinable(DistinctTranslationTest.scala:39)
    ```

> I am frequently seeing weird (non-deterministic) class cast exception in the tests, where apparently casts fail in serial parts of the program. The casting attempts have nothing to do with the program context.
> {code}
> java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.flink.api.common.operators.base.DeltaIterationBase cannot be cast to org.apache.flink.api.common.operators.base.GroupReduceOperatorBase
> 	at org.apache.flink.api.scala.operators.translation.DistinctTranslationTest.testCombinable(DistinctTranslationTest.scala:39)
> {code}
> I am wondering whether that might be a strange bug in the forked execution, a possible bug in maven surefire.
> I propose to deactivate the "reuseFork" option in surefire, to create a clean JVM (and class loaders) for each test.
