KIP-640 — Add log compression analysis tool

Discussion BrokerAdmin

Introduces a `kafka-compression-analyzer.sh` tool that reads an existing log segment and reports the estimated compressed size for each supported compression algorithm (none, gzip, snappy, lz4, zstd). Choosing a compression algorithm currently requires manually producing data with each codec and measuring bandwidth and log size, which is time-consuming and error-prone.
