Fixed Issues in Apache Kafka

Review the list of Kafka issues that are resolved in Cloudera Runtime 7.1.5.

CDPD-17921: advertised.listeners should allow duplicated ports (KAFKA-10478 backport)
This is a backported fix. The advertised.listeners Kafka property now accepts duplicated ports.
OPSAPS-58319: Kafka metrics may have been wiped after a Kafka cluster restart
Empty responses are now properly handled when topic names are fetched. Kafka metrics will no longer be wiped.
CDPD-11775: Kafka Connect does not start due to occupied ports
The default ports for the Kafka Connect role are updated to be in the non-ephemeral range. This resolves possible port binding issues that can cause Kafka connect to not start.
