KIP-1301 — Deprecate Yammer-based metrics in `GroupCoordinatorMetrics`
Accepted Kafka 4.4 BrokerMetrics
Deprecates the remaining Yammer-based classic-group metrics in GroupCoordinatorMetrics (NumGroups, NumOffsets, NumGroupsPreparingRebalance/CompletingRebalance/Stable/Dead) and adds equivalent Kafka Metrics gauges under kafka.server:type=group-coordinator-metrics with protocol and state tags. The migration from Yammer Metrics to Kafka Metrics started in KAFKA-14519/KAFKA-15870 was left incomplete, so some group coordinator metrics were only reachable through Yammer while others were already on Kafka Metrics, leaving an inconsistent monitoring interface.
