> As a first step towards making it possible to assign different environments to sections of a pipeline, we first need to expose environment classes to the pipeline API.  Unlike PTransforms, PCollections, Coders, and Windowings,  environments exists solely in the portability framework as protobuf objects.   By creating a hierarchy of "native" classes that represent the various environment types -- external, docker, process, etc -- users will be able to instantiate these and assign them to parts of the pipeline.  The assignment portion will be covered in a follow-up issue/PR.
