KIP-885 — Expose Broker's Name and Version to Clients

Discussion ProtocolBroker

Proposes a new `DescribeBroker` or extended `ApiVersions` response that explicitly includes the broker's Kafka version string and name. Currently clients infer broker version by correlating `ApiVersions` response ranges with known per-version API changes, which breaks when a release adds no new API versions.
