KIP-176 — Remove deprecated new-consumer option for tools
Accepted Kafka 2.0 AdminConsumer
Removes the `--new-consumer` flag from `ConsoleConsumer`, `ConsumerPerformance`, and `ConsumerGroupCommand` CLI tools, as the new consumer is now the only supported implementation. The `--new-consumer` flag was already the default and its presence was misleading; the old ZooKeeper-based consumer it distinguished against was already removed.
