Wang Qing b410ee0d29 [Java] Support dynamically defining resources when submitting task. (#3070)
## What do these changes do?
Before this PR, if we want to specify some resources, we must do as following codes:
```java
@RayRemote(Resources={ResourceItem("CPU", 10)})
public static void f1() {
// do sth
}

@RayRemote(Resources={ResourceItem("CPU", 10)})
class Demo {
// sth
}
```
Unfortunately, it's no way for us to create another actor or task with different resources required.

After this PR, the thing will be:
```java
ActorCreationOptions option = new ActorCreationOptions(); 
option.resources.put("CPU", 4.0);
RayActor<Echo> echo1 = Ray.createActor(Echo::new, option);
option.resources.put("Res-A", 4.0);
RayActor<Echo> echo2 = Ray.createActor(Echo::new, option);


//if we don't specify resource,  the resources will be `{"cpu":0.0}` by default.
Ray.call(Echo::echo, echo2, 100);
```

Quick start
===========

Configuration
-------------
Ray will read your configurations in the following order:

* Java system properties: e.g., ``-Dray.home=/path/to/ray``.
* A ``ray.conf`` file in the classpath: `example <https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/master/java/example.conf>`_.

For all available config items and default values, see `this file <https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/master/java/runtime/src/main/resources/ray.default.conf>`_.

Starting Ray
------------

.. code:: java

    Ray.init();

Read and write remote objects
-----------------------------

Each remote object is considered a ``RayObject<T>`` where ``T`` is the
type for this object. You can use ``Ray.put`` and ``RayObject<T>.get``
to write and read the objects.

.. code:: java

    Integer x = 1;
    RayObject<Integer> obj = Ray.put(x);
    Integer x1 = obj.get();
    assert (x.equals(x1));

Remote functions
----------------

Here is an ordinary java code piece for composing
``hello world example``.

.. code:: java

    public class ExampleClass {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            String str1 = add("hello", "world");
            String str = add(str1, "example");
            System.out.println(str);
        }
        public static String add(String a, String b) {
            return a + " " + b;
        }
    }

We use ``@RayRemote`` to indicate that a function is remote, and use
``Ray.call`` to invoke it. The result from the latter is a
``RayObject<R>`` where ``R`` is the return type of the target function.
The following shows the changed example with ``add`` annotated, and
correspondent calls executed on remote machines.

.. code:: java

    public class ExampleClass {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Ray.init();
            RayObject<String> objStr1 = Ray.call(ExampleClass::add, "hello", "world");
            RayObject<String> objStr2 = Ray.call(ExampleClass::add, objStr1, "example");
            String str = objStr2.get();
            System.out.println(str);
        }

        @RayRemote
        public static String add(String a, String b) {
            return a + " " + b;
        }
    }
