Review Comment:
   This is tricky. It's not a class from the public API, but it's exposed via 
the command line and definitely used (search for AvroMessageReader for 
example). I also found the still open KIP-641 which deals with this interface. 
   
   We should have a deprecation period, but at the same time we don't want to 
depend on core. Given that checkstyle can only handle a single root package, 
the only solution I see is to create a :tools:deprecated sub-module containing 
kafka.common.MessageReader.
   
   @mimaison @showuon WDYT?
