KIP-407 — Kafka Connect support override worker kafka api configuration with connector configuration that post by rest api

Discussion Connect

KIP-407 proposes allowing per-connector overrides of worker-level Kafka client configs by accepting `consumer.*` and `producer.*` prefixed properties in the connector config POSTed via the REST API. Without this, all sink connectors on a worker share the same consumer settings (e.g. `auto.offset.reset`) configured in the worker properties file, making it impossible to run connectors with different offset-reset semantics on the same worker.
