KIP-212 — Enforce set of legal characters for connector names

Accepted Kafka 1.1 Connect

Enforces a whitelist of legal characters for Kafka Connect connector names (alphanumeric, `.`, `-`, `_`) and rejects empty names at creation time. Special characters in connector names break REST API URL routing and make it impossible to delete or modify connectors created with those names.
