[NEW] New API to configure Kafka broker authentication

Docs:

- https://quix.io/docs/quix-streams/configuration.html#authentication

In version 2.6.0, we introduced the new API to specify the Kafka broker credentials via the `ConnectionConfig` object.

Previously, when connecting to the brokers with any kind of authentication, users needed to provide the same connection settings as dictionaries and do it separately for both consumer and producer.

Now, the Kafka connection can be configured once using the `ConnectionConfig` object.
With `ConnectionConfig` you may specify additional authentication settings like SASL parameters and more, and pass it as a `"broker_address"` parameter to the `Application`.

**Example:**

Configure the application to connect to the Kafka broker with SASL authentication.

python
from quixstreams import Application
from quixstreams.kafka.configuration import ConnectionConfig

connection = ConnectionConfig(
bootstrap_servers="my_url",
security_protocol="sasl_plaintext",
sasl_mechanism="PLAIN",
sasl_username="my_user",
sasl_password="my_pass"
)

app = Application(broker_address=connection)
