Dropping support for Flink 1.5/1.6

Dear users of the Flink Runner,

Just a heads-up that we may remove Flink 1.5/1.6 support for future
version of Beam (>=2.16.0): https://jira.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-7962

Why? We support 1.5 - 1.8 and have a 1.9 version in the making. The
increased number of supported versions manifests in a more complex build
environment and increased build times. Also, Flink only supports the
last two released minor versions.

Cheers,
Max
