It was not possible to just run 'mvn spotless:check', but instead one needed to use the fully qualified name of the plugin, i.e., 'mvn com.diffplug.spotless:spotless-maven-plugin:check'.

This is due to 'force-shading'; this module is declared as a child of the flink-parent pom (i.e., the root pom of the project), but is not actually declaring that very module as it's parent.
This seems to throw of maven, which fails to retrieve the plugin information from the parent.

Note that this is just a band-aid; a proper fix would declare flink-parent as the parent of force-shading, but this is the easier fix.

[FLINK-17331][runtime] Explicitly get the ByteBuf length of all classes which is written to NettyMessage

Currently, the length of some header fields in NettyMessage is hardcoded: InputChannelID, ExecutionAttemptID, e.t.c.
So if we make some changes for such field, then we are not ware that it also needs to change the respective length for related netty messages component.
This PR explicitly get the ByteBuf length of all classes which is written to NettyMessage to avoid such problems.
