[FLINK-998] Close network connections when idle

1. Close idle TCP connections

Tasks enqueue envelopes to be dispatched via NettyConnectionManager. The
first task to enqueue an envelope triggers the establishment of a new
TCP connection to the target task manager. Usually, there are multiple
connections between the same task managers in order to avoid deadlocks.

This commit addresses the following problem: idle connections were never
closed. This meant that the number of TCP connections was monotonically
increasing over time. Idling connections are now closed after a
configured amount of time, see 'taskmanager.net.closeAfterIdleForMs'.

2. Enqueue envelopes directly

TCP connections are handled by Netty's IO loop. Every enqueue operation
needs to ensure that the envelope to be enqueued is handed over to the
respective IO thread in a thread-safe manner. Previously, this was done
via Netty's user events.

This commit addresses the following problem: every enqueue operation
resulted in the creation of an IO event loop task to hand over the
envelope. Envelopes are now directly added to a ConcurrentLinkedQueue,
which drastically improves the throughput of enqueue operations. The
user event is now only fired to trigger the processing if the queue was
empty.

3. Added unit tests for OutboundConnectionQueue and adapted existing
tests to test concurrent enqueue and close

4. Removed unused arguments to NettyConnectionManager (low and high
water mark)

This closes #76.
Update Netty dependency to 4.0.21.Final
Add type parameters in OutboundConnectionQueueTest

The use of PowerMock's Whitebox without type parameters led to compile
problems with Java 6.

[Docs] Limit nesting of generated TOCs

The jekyll tocify plugin generates an HTML TOC based on the headings
of the markdown files. This commit limits the nesting of the TOC to 2,
which means that only h1 and h2 element will be taken into account.
Previously, all heading elements were used, which resulted in a very
cluttered TOC.

Disable POJO types

There are various issues when working with POJOs in the Java API, for
example [1].

This commit squashes the following commmits:

1. Disable tests, which depend on POJO types

2. Replace expression keys with key selector in test

3. PackagedProgramEndToEndITCase used a KMeans variant, which relies on
expression keys to select the field to group on. This commit replaces
this with a key selector.

4. Disable WordCountPOJO test case and package

5. Disables WordCountPOJOITCase, which executes the WordCountPOJO example.
The example code is still included with the source code (with notice
that it is currently not working), but will *not* be packaged as a JAR
anymore.

6. Disable tests, which depend on POJO types (continued)
