    [BEAM-1198, BEAM-846, BEAM-260] Refactor Dataflow translator to decouple input and output graphs more easily

    Be sure to do all of the following to help us incorporate your contribution
    quickly and easily:
    
     - [x] Make sure the PR title is formatted like:
       `[BEAM-<Jira issue #>] Description of pull request`
     - [ ] Make sure tests pass via `mvn clean verify`. (Even better, enable
           Travis-CI on your fork and ensure the whole test matrix passes).
     - [x] Replace `<Jira issue #>` in the title with the actual Jira issue
           number, if there is one.

    This is preparatory work to make it possible for the translator to have a more loosely coupled relationship between its input and output.

    Inline needless interface DataflowTranslator.TranslationContext
    
    The only implementation was DataflowTranslator.Translator. This class
    needs some updating and the extra layer of the interface simply
    obscures that work.

commit 272d06d7507ad7162616dd1b613efa7c8f5f4069

    Explicitly pass Step to mutate in Dataflow translator
    
    Previously, there was always a "current" step that was the most recent
    step created. This makes it cumbersome or impossible to do things like
    translate one primitive transform into a small subgraph of steps. Thus
    we added hacks like CreatePCollectionView which are not actually part
    of the model at all - in fact, we should be able to add the needed
    CollectionToSingleton steps simply by looking at the side inputs of a
    ParDo node.

> For side inputs, the field {{PCollectionView.fromIterableInternal}} implies an "iterable" materialization of the contents of a PCollection, which is adapted to the desired user-facing type within a UDF (today the PCollectionView "is" the UDF)
> In practice, runners get adequate performance by special casing just a couple of types of PCollectionView in a rather cumbersome manner.
> The design to improve this is https://s.apache.org/beam-side-inputs-1-pager and this makes the de facto standard approach the actual model.
