Previously we were subclassing user POJO objects in order to create them from a Beam Row. This can cause unexpected behavior: e.g. many equals() implementations check that the class is the same, and and will fail if the rhs is a subclass. In this PR we stop doing this, and instead simply generate the code to create the POJO directly.
As a bonus, this should be a small performance boost, as we no longer use reflection to creat e the object.
