Description
### What happened?
Edit: Changed from Bug to New Feature
We should be able to plumb additional flags to the automatically started up Java Expansion service, in case there are specific flags IOs need. Eg. for a recent KafkaIO issue that didn't appear to be able to worked around centrally. What follows is the original bug and proposal.
The Java KafkaIO SDF implementation is experiencing issues #21730 and the Xlang wrappers need to be updated to pass an experiment flag to the Java Expansion service.
This issue tracks doing the same to the Go KafkaIO wrapper, to pass the additional args to the automatically started up expansion service, as it was done to the python wrapper in #22286.
`--experiments=use_unbounded_sdf_wrapper` in particular.

Additional args can probably be added as a new "ExpansionServiceOption"

And plumbed through to https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/d2fe48e8c142a3ffc16957b779f5e7bcc8a034ab/sdks/go/pkg/beam/core/runtime/xlangx/expand.go#L180 for the started service.
