KIP-309 — Add toUpperCase support to sasl.kerberos.principal.to.local rule
Accepted Kafka 2.4 Security
Extends the sasl.kerberos.principal.to.local.rules parser to support a /U modifier that uppercases the resulting Linux username, mirroring the existing Hadoop auth_to_local rule syntax (HADOOP-13984). Some enterprise environments require uppercase usernames when mapping Kerberos principals, which was not possible with the existing lowercase-only /L support.
