KIP-511 — Collect and Expose Client's Name and Version in the Brokers

Accepted Kafka 2.4 ProtocolClientMetrics

Extends `ApiVersionsRequest` (v3+) to carry `client_software_name` and `client_software_version` fields from the client library, which the broker stores and exposes via `DescribeClientQuotas` and internal metrics. Cluster operators have no visibility into which client library versions are connected to their brokers, making it difficult to assess upgrade impact or debug misbehaving clients.
