Review request for ranger, Don Bosco Durai and Madhan Neethiraj.
Changes
-------
Last step of this change: removing the kafka-security maven profile all
together. We have given enough time to community to absorb an hollowed our
profile. As for the prior change, once approved, I'd push this out to 0.5
branch, too.
Bugs: RANGER-777
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-777
Repository: ranger
Description
-------
Since kafka's support for authorizer was not on master, building kafka plugin
required some doing. Kafka team has since released the authorization changes
as part of the v0.9 jar that was pushed into maven central. As part of that a
few of the auxiliary APIs, related to authentication, that kafka plugin was
relying on got changed. Accordingly, this patch:
- Changes kafka plugin code so it uses the APIs that are released as part of
v0.9 kafka jar.
- Removes the need for special profile to build kafka plugin such that now it
gets build by default if a complete build is done for kafka
These changes would be ported also port to 0.5.

Testing
-------
1. Kafka authorization for publish/consume works as before.
2. Authentication API changes were used by HDFS audit plugin. Ensured that
audit to HDFS works before and after use of new API. Test was done against
kafka cluster.
