KIP-524 — Allow users to choose config source when describing configs
Accepted Kafka 2.5 Admin
Adds `--dynamic` and `--all` flags to `kafka-configs.sh --describe --entity-type brokers` so operators can explicitly request only dynamic overrides or all configurations (static + dynamic + defaults) respectively. Without this, the tool only shows dynamic overrides by default, with no way to inspect static broker configs or view the effective value when no dynamic override exists.
