Description

There are some relevant librdkafka docs here.

This should be a relatively simple matter of exposing the relevant configuration values, similar to #1276.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing configuration options for the Kafka sink, particularly how other authentication methods are exposed in PR #1276, then add Kerberos related configuration values from librdkafka.
