Description

After FLIP-73 the dependencies are minor. Tasks I can find are

1. Move StreamGraphTranslator to flink-client.
2. Implement similar context environment of streaming as batch env in flink-client. Set/Unset as context along with ExecutionEnvironment.

After this task we still have dependency from flink-streaming-java to flink-java because of some input formats dependencies. We can break the dependencies as follow-ups.
