KIP-697 — Stricter parsing of addresses in configs
Discussion Client
Standardizes the parsing and validation of `bootstrap.servers` (and similar list configs like `quorum.voters`) to consistently accept and normalize whitespace around delimiters. The config was documented as a comma-separated list, but the actual parsing behavior varied across client types, and trailing/leading spaces caused silent misconfigurations.
