KIP-466 — Add support for List<T> serialization and deserialization

Accepted Kafka 3.0 StreamsClient

Adds `ListSerializer`, `ListDeserializer`, and `ListSerde` to the Kafka clients library for serializing and deserializing `List<T>` types with a configurable inner serde. Kafka Streams DSL operations that aggregate values into lists (e.g., `aggregate`) have no built-in `List` serde, forcing users to implement custom serialization.
