Description

Currently we have XmlSource and XmlSink in the Java SDK. They violate the PTransform style guide in several respects:

• They should be grouped into an XmlIO class with read() and write() verbs, like all the other similar connectors
• The source/sink classes should be made private or package-local
• Should get rid of XmlSink.Bound - XmlSink itself should inherit from FileBasedSink
• Could optionally benefit from AutoValue

See e.g. the PR with BigQuery fixes https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/2149
