KIP-50 — Move Authorizer to o.a.k.common package

Discussion SecurityAdmin

Proposes moving the Kafka Authorizer interface from kafka-core (Scala) to org.apache.kafka.common (Java) in the clients module, superseded by KIP-504. Third-party authorizer implementations (Ranger, Sentry) require a dependency on the full kafka-core jar, which is heavyweight and creates version coupling issues.
