Description

Currently there are gaps in agent/beats support for kerberos in various kafka implementations. This meta issue is to gather all the specific development efforts that need to be implemented in order to provide a cohesive offering

```[tasklist]
### Tasks
- [ ] Update the Kafka client currently in use by beats/agent so that we have access to the latest
- [ ] Ensure filebeat Kafka input correctly authenticates against Active Directory using Kerberos config
- [ ] Ensure *beats output to Kafka authenticates against Active Directory using Kerberos config, and make this feature GA
- [ ] Modify the Fleet UI for Kafka output to include a Kerberos configuration
- [ ] (optional) Support kerberos authentication on the Metricbeat kafka module```
```
