[FLINK-40655][runtime] Fix flaky partition release test

[qiuyanjun888]

What is the purpose of the change

ExecutionVertexTest.testResetForNewExecutionReleasesPartitions can fail intermittently because it asserts that the partition-release future is incomplete immediately after execution.markFinished(). Partition release may already be triggered asynchronously at that point.

Brief change log

• Remove the race-prone intermediate completion assertion.
• Retain the final assertion that verifies the expected ResultPartitionID is released after resetForNewExecution().

Verifying this change

This change is covered by the existing test:

• ExecutionVertexTest#testResetForNewExecutionReleasesPartitions

@MartijnVisser could you please review?

The release happens inside startScheduling, not after markFinished. Execution#deploy hops to the scheduler's general executor and back, and when the continuation lands on that thread the main thread assertion in forMainThread trips, so the deployment is marked failed and the partitions get released. Passing a DirectScheduledExecutorService there, as IntermediateResultPartitionTest does, keeps it on one thread. That was green over 20000 runs, against 5 failures in 12000 on master.

[MartijnVisser]

Both runs linked on the ticket fail at line 95, the assertion before this call. Removing the one after it leaves the flake in place.

[MartijnVisser]

This also drops the check that finishing the producer does not release its blocking partitions. The final assertion cannot catch that, since the future keeps whichever release completed first.
