KAFKA-13799: Improve documentation for Kafka zero-copy (#12052)
Improve documentation for Kafka zero-copy. Kafka combines pagecache and
zero-copy to greatly improve message consumption efficiency. But zero-copy only
works in PlaintextTransportLayer.

<p>
This combination of pagecache and sendfile means that on a Kafka cluster
where the consumers are mostly caught up you will see no read activity on the
disks whatsoever as they will be serving data entirely from cache.
<p>
+ TLS/SSL libraries operate at the user space (in-kernel
<code>SSL_sendfile</code> is currently not supported by Kafka). Due to this
restriction, <code>sendfile</code> could not be used when transport layer
enables SSL protocol. For enabling
+ SSL configuration, refer to <code>security.protocol</code> and
<code>security.inter.broker.protocol</code>
