KIP-264 — Add a consumer metric to record raw fetch size
Discussion ConsumerMetrics
Adds a `fetch-size-total-bytes` consumer metric that tracks raw (compressed, on-wire) bytes received from the broker, separate from the existing `bytes-fetched` metric which measures decompressed bytes. The decompressed metric overstates wire bandwidth consumption, preventing accurate measurement of actual network utilization and compression ratio effectiveness.
