Description

In RuntimeDefinition.avsc, we currently use string to represent Configuration instances:

RuntimeDefinition.avsc, lines 36/37

  "name":"serializedConfiguration",
  "type":"string",

This is less than ideal, as we already have a schema to serialize Configuration instances via Avro. Using that schema would significantly simplify the code interacting with RuntimeDefinition, and would also allow us to encode invariants in the schema to be shared between C# and Java.
