KIP-254 — JsonConverter Exception Handeling

Discussion Kafka 2.0 Connect

KIP-254 proposes adding a configurable error handler to `JsonConverter` in Kafka Connect so that individual malformed JSON messages can be skipped or dead-lettered rather than crashing the task. A single unparseable JSON record in an input topic causes the entire Connect task to fail and enter a restart loop, blocking all subsequent records.
