KAFKA-4473: RecordCollector should handle retriable exceptions more strictly The `RecordCollectorImpl` currently drops messages on the floor if an exception is non-null in the producer callback. This will result in message loss and violates at-least-once processing. Rather than just log an error in the callback, save the exception in a field. On subsequent calls to `send`, `flush`, `close`, first check for the existence of an exception and throw a `StreamsException` if it is non-null. Also, in the callback, if an exception has already occurred, the `offsets` map should not be updated.
