Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing Burrow's required ZooKeeper ensemble configuration and the Kafka integration points, then determine what KRaft support would require. Done would mean Burrow can operate with a KRaft Kafka cluster without requiring ZooKeeper, with corresponding validation.
