Hi Kafka developers,

I've seen some previous discussions in the past about "adopting
formatting" for the Kafka codebase a la google-java-format.

While such a discussion may be ongoing and require further iterations;
I was wondering if we could start somewhere smaller.

google-java-format has the ability to *solely* sort imports.
This is the default implementation of Spotless when not given any configuration.
(Otherwise it defaults to some custom Java code within the plugin that
was inspired by an Eclipse plugin)

I'd like to propose changing the spotless configuration to have no
setup and thus leverage google-java-format; *solely* to sort imports.

This would deviate from the current import order of:
importOrder('kafka', 'org.apache.kafka', 'com', 'net', 'org', 'java',
'javax', '', '\\#')

Please let me know your thoughts.
