KIP-649 — Dynamic client configuration

Discussion Client

KIP-649 adds a `reconfigure()` method to Kafka producer and consumer clients allowing select configurations (e.g., `acks`, `session.timeout.ms`) to be changed at runtime without restarting the client. Today all client configuration is fixed at construction time, requiring a full restart cycle to tune misbehaving clients.
