GetOffsetShell doesn't provide a mechanism to provide additional configuration 
for the underlying KafkaConsumer as does the `ConsoleConsumer`. This leaves it 
unable to connect to a broker using SSL.

This PR allows it to accept a client configuration file, subsequently allowing 
it to provide SSL configurations and connect to a broker.

I tested this manually. Trying to connect to a broker's SSL listener raised an 
out of memory error for me. After passing in the appropriate configurations via 
a config file, it connected successfully
