    [FLINK-2940] [JavaAPI] Remove Chill dependency from flink-java.

    This PR replaces `flink-java`'s `chill` dependency by `chill-java` to decouple `flink-java` from Scala.
    Chill is used within the `KryoSerializer` to obtain a "Scala-preconfigured" Kryo instance. Hence, Chill is still required for Scala DataSet or DataStream programs. Separate KryoSerializers for Scala and Java are hard to provide, because `GenericTypeInformation` can be generated through the `TypeExtractor`, `TypeParser`, and the Scala compiler marko. 
    
    In this PR, the `KryoSerializer` tries to dynamically load Chill's `ScalaKryoInstantiator` and generate a Kryo instance through reflection to circumvent the Chill dependency. As a fallback, a regular Kryo instance is created. Consequently, Chill's Kryo instance is used whenever Chill is present in the classpath. To ensure that client, JM, and TM have Chill in their classpath, we add Chill as a dependency to `flink-client`.
    
    **Note**: Before merging, we need to check if this works for Java and Scala programs which are submitted to a cluster (including some collection data sources which are serialized at the client).

> Flink implicitly defaults to Scala 2.10 at the moment. For 0.10 we already built Scala 2.11 artifacts but did not deploy them in the Maven repository. For the 1.0 release, multiple Scala versions should be offered via Maven.
> The artifacts which depend on a version of Scala, should contain the Scala version in the artifact name. This is a common convention for Scala artifacts. For example, {{flink-scala}} should be renamed to {{flink-scala_2.10}} and there should be a {{flink-scala_2.11}} artifact as well.
> Scala dependencies should be avoided where possible. For instance, {{flink-java}} depends on Chill which depends on a specific version of Scala. So we would have {{flink-java_2.10/11}}. We can either try to get rid of the Scala dependency for these modules or shade our version of Scala..
