Change samples to use UTF8StringSerializer

[claudiofahey]

Currently, events that consist of strings are serialized in Pravega using JavaSerializer. This is not ideal because 1) it is difficult to use in non-Java environments, 2) it adds unnecessary framing, and 3) it uses inefficient UTF-16 encoding.

A new commit has been added to Pravega to provide a UTF-8 serializer (pravega/pravega@78c5ade)

All samples that currently use JavaSerializer should be converted to use UTF8StringSerializer to demonstrate this best practice. Note that this is a breaking change as JavaSerializer is a different encoding than UTF-8.
