    [BEAM-134] Example of AutoValue integration

    This is a sample for [\[BEAM-134\] Investigate use of AutoValue](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-134)
    
    In the case of `IsmFormat`, there are four inner-classes used as immutable value types which can be simplified with AutoValue. Each of them demonstrate some interesting functionality:
    
    * `KeyPrefix` is the simplest of the bunch, and it's implementation basically disappears after conversion.
    * `IsmRecord` can act as two different types (value or metadata), and has validation logic in its getters they verify correct usage. In this case, we can keep the existing getter functionality and let AutoValue hook into separate package-private abstract properties. `IsmShard` is similar in this respect.
    * `Footer` provides has custom logic in its `.toString()` to include a version string. For other value classes, AutoValue will generate a `toString()` implementation compatible with the equivalent `Objects.toStringHelper` version. In this case, we can keep the existing implementation and AutoValue won't override it.
    
    As noted in the JIRA issue, I've identified 39 distinct classes which could be similarly converted. The benefits to converting are:
    * Less boilerplate code to maintain.
    * Eliminate a common source of bugs.
    * Lower the barrier to writing immutable value types, which carry their own benefits.
    
    I recommend we take this work.
