Tamas Palfy 34112519c2 NIFI-6640 - UNION/CHOICE types not handled correctly
3 important changes:
1. FieldTypeInference had a bug when dealing with multiple datatypes for
 the same field where some (but not all) were in a wider-than-the-other
 relationship.
 Before: Some datatypes could be lost. String was wider than any other.
 After: Consistent behaviour. String is NOT wider than any other.
2. Choosing a datatype for a value from a ChoiceDataType:
 Before it chose the first compatible datatype as the basis of conversion.
 After change it tries to find the most suitable datatype.
3. Conversion of a value of avro union type:
 Before it chose the first compatible datatype as the basis of conversion.
 After change it tries to find the most suitable datatype.

Change: In the RecordFieldType enum moved TIMESTAMP ahead of DATE.

This closes #3724.
