   Thanks for the PR!
   
   > This patch uses the new isMigratingZkBroker field in 
BrokerRegistrationRequest and RegisterBrokerRecord. The type was changed from 
int8 to bool for BrokerRegistrationRequest (a mistake from 
https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/12860).
   
   I think there is one other major mistake we made there: this should not be a 
tagged field, but should be a new version of the RPC. The reason is because 
this is not safe to ignore. If an old controller treats this broker like an 
ordinary KRaft broker, that would be a big mistake.
   
   While a new verison of `BrokerRegistrationRequest` may seem difficult to 
implement, I think it's actually simpler than it seems. The `NetworkClient` 
itself should have the `ApiVersions` of the controller available. It gets this 
when it first connects to the controller. So we can simply take the max of the 
registration version our broker supports, and the registration version the 
controller supports.
   
   There is already code to do all this in `BrokerRegistrationRequest#Builder`. 
The only complication is if you need to set `isZkBroker` you need to set 
`BrokerRegistrationRequest#Builder.oldestAllowedVersion` to 1 rather than 0.
