KIP-931 — Flag to ignore unused message attribute field
Discarded ProtocolBroker
Proposes a batch-header attribute bit to optionally omit the per-message attributes field (currently always present but unused since message format v1) from records, reducing per-record overhead. Discarded because space savings do not outweigh message conversion costs and planned v3 format changes will address this more comprehensively.
