KAFKA-2476: Add Decimal, Date, and Timestamp logical types. To support Decimal, this also adds support for schema parameters, which is an extra set of String key value pairs which provide extra information about the schema. For Decimal, this is used to encode the scale parameter, which is part of the schema instead of being passed with every value.
