Description

Both "flink-connector-testing" and "flink-connector-test-utils" modules are designed for providing connector testing infrastructures and helper classes, so merging these two modules could simplify dependencies of connectors and reduce the complexity of Flink project. 

The plan is to move classes in flink-connector-testing to flink-connector-test-utils, since the latter one have been existing for a longer time in the projects, and flink-connector-testing is in experimental status now.
