KIP-980 — Allow creating connectors in a stopped state

Accepted Kafka 3.7 Connect

Adds a `stopped` initial state option to the Kafka Connect `POST /connectors` REST endpoint so newly created connectors start in the `STOPPED` state rather than immediately running. This enables zero-downtime connector migration between Connect clusters by creating the connector on the target cluster before starting it.
