Description

During the implementation of FLINK-27527 we had to add `flink-table-planner` as a test dependency to `flink-tests`.

This created test failures for the reflection tests checking test coverage for `TypeInformation` and `TypeSerializer` classes as shown here:

https://dev.azure.com/apache-flink/apache-flink/_build/results?buildId=35851&view=logs&j=56de72e1-1902-5ae5-06bd-77ee907eed59&t=237d25ca-be06-5918-2b0a-41d0694dace8&l=6738

To mitigate the issue and unblock FLINK-27527 we extended the whitelist as a temporary solution but there should be a better solution in place. Some of the classes are deprecated but others are not and should probably have tests created to improve the coverage.
