+ * A class that encapsulates the latest features supported by the Broker and 
also provides APIs to
+ * check for incompatibilities between the features supported by the Broker 
and finalized features.
+ * The class also enables feature version level deprecation, as explained 
below. This class is
+ * immutable in production. It provides few APIs to mutate state only for the 
purpose of testing.
+ *
+ * Feature version level deprecation:
+ * ==================================
+ *
+ * Deprecation of certain version levels of a feature is a process to stop 
supporting the
+ * functionality offered by the feature at a those version levels, across the 
entire Kafka cluster.
+ * Feature version deprecation is a simple 2-step process explained below. In 
each step below, an
+ * example is provided to help understand the process better:
+ *
+ * STEP 1:
+ * In the first step, a major Kafka release is made with a Broker code change 
(explained later
+ * below) that establishes the intent to deprecate certain versions of one or 
more features
+ * cluster-wide. When this new Kafka release is deployed to the cluster, the 
feature versioning
+ * system (via the controller) will automatically persist the new 
minVersionLevel for the feature in
+ * Zk to propagate the deprecation of certain versions. After this happens, 
any external client that
+ * queries the Broker to learn the feature versions will at some point start 
to see the new value
+ * for the finalized minVersionLevel for the feature. This makes the version 
deprecation permanent.
+ *
+ * Here is how the above code change needs to be done:
+ * In order to deprecate feature version levels, in the supportedFeatures map 
you need to supply a
+ * specific firstActiveVersion value that's higher than the minVersion for the 
feature. The
+ * value for firstActiveVersion should be 1 beyond the highest version that 
you intend to deprecate
+ * for that feature. When features are finalized via the 
ApiKeys.UPDATE_FEATURES api, the feature
+ * version levels in the closed range: [minVersion, firstActiveVersion - 1] 
are automatically
+ * deprecated in ZK by the controller logic.
+ * Example:
+ * - Let us assume the existing finalized feature in ZK:
+ *   {
+ *      "feature_1" -> FinalizedVersionRange(minVersionLevel=1, 
maxVersionLevel=5)
+ *   }
+ *   Now, supposing you would like to deprecate feature version levels: [1, 2].
+ *   Then, in the supportedFeatures map you should supply the following:
+ *   supportedFeatures = {
+ *     "feature1" -> SupportedVersionRange(minVersion=1, firstActiveVersion=3, 
maxVersion=5)
+ *   }
+ * - If you do NOT want to deprecate a version level for a feature, then in 
the supportedFeatures
+ *   map you should supply the firstActiveVersion to be the same as the 
minVersion supplied for that
+ *   feature.
+ *   Example:
+ *   supportedFeatures = {
+ *     "feature1" -> SupportedVersionRange(minVersion=1, firstActiveVersion=1, 
maxVersion=5)
+ *   }
+ *   This indicates no intent to deprecate any version levels for the feature.
+ *
+ * STEP 2:
+ * After the first step is over, you may (at some point) want to permanently 
remove the code/logic
+ * for the functionality offered by the deprecated feature versions. This is 
the second step. Here a
+ * subsequent major Kafka release is made with another Broker code change that 
removes the code for
+ * the functionality offered by the deprecated feature versions. This would 
completely drop support
+ * for the deprecated versions. Such a code change needs to be supplemented by 
supplying a
+ * suitable higher minVersion value for the feature in the supportedFeatures 
map.
+ * Example:
+ * - In the example above in step 1, we showed how to deprecate version levels 
[1, 2] for
+ *   "feature_1". Now let us assume the following finalized feature in ZK 
(after the deprecation
+ *   has been carried out):
+ *   {
+ *     "feature_1" -> FinalizedVersionRange(minVersionLevel=3, 
maxVersionLevel=5)
+ *   }
+ *   Now, supposing you would like to permanently remove support for feature 
versions: [1, 2].
+ *   Then, in the supportedFeatures map you should now supply the following:
+ *   supportedFeatures = {
+ *     "feature1" -> SupportedVersionRange(minVersion=3, firstActiveVersion=3, 
maxVersion=5)

Review comment:
       This is a really good point. Yes, I feel it is useful to expose it to 
the client via `ApiVersionsResponse`. I can change the KIP suitably.

+   * This method enables the feature versioning system (KIP-584).
+   *
+   * Development in Kafka (from a high level) is organized into features. Each 
feature is tracked by
+   * a name and a range of version numbers. A feature can be of two types:
+   *
+   * 1. Supported feature:
+   * A supported feature is represented by a name (string) and a range of 
versions (defined by a
+   * SupportedVersionRange). It refers to a feature that a particular broker 
advertises
+   * support for. Each broker advertises the version ranges of its own 
supported features in its
+   * own BrokerIdZNode. The contents of the advertisement are specific to the 
particular broker and
+   * do not represent any guarantee of a cluster-wide availability of the 
feature for any particular
+   * range of versions.
+   *
+   * 2. Finalized feature:
+   * A finalized feature is represented by a name (string) and a range of 
version levels (defined
+   * by a FinalizedVersionRange). Whenever the feature versioning system 
(KIP-584) is
+   * enabled, the finalized features are stored in the cluster-wide common 
FeatureZNode.
+   * In comparison to a supported feature, the key difference is that a 
finalized feature exists
+   * in ZK only when it is guaranteed to be supported by any random broker in 
the cluster for a
+   * specified range of version levels. Also, the controller is the only 
entity modifying the
+   * information about finalized features.
+   *
+   * This method sets up the FeatureZNode with enabled status, which means 
that the finalized
+   * features stored in the FeatureZNode are active. The enabled status should 
be written by the
+   * controller to the FeatureZNode only when the broker IBP config is greater 
than or equal to
+   * KAFKA_2_7_IV0.
+   *
+   * There are multiple cases handled here:
+   *
+   * 1. New cluster bootstrap:
+   *    A new Kafka cluster (i.e. it is deployed first time) is almost always 
started with IBP config
+   *    setting greater than or equal to KAFKA_2_7_IV0. We would like to start 
the cluster with all
+   *    the possible supported features finalized immediately. Assuming this 
is the case, the
+   *    controller will start up and notice that the FeatureZNode is absent in 
the new cluster,
+   *    it will then create a FeatureZNode (with enabled status) containing 
the entire list of
+   *    default supported features as its finalized features.
+   *
+   * 2. Broker binary upgraded, but IBP config set to lower than KAFKA_2_7_IV0:
+   *    Imagine there is an existing Kafka cluster with IBP config less than 
KAFKA_2_7_IV0, and the
+   *    broker binary has been upgraded to a newer version that supports the 
feature versioning
+   *    system (KIP-584). This means the user is upgrading from an earlier 
version of the broker
+   *    binary. In this case, we want to start with no finalized features and 
allow the user to
+   *    finalize them whenever they are ready i.e. in the future whenever the 
user sets IBP config
+   *    to be greater than or equal to KAFKA_2_7_IV0, then the user could 
start finalizing the
+   *    features. This process ensures we do not enable all the possible 
features immediately after
+   *    an upgrade, which could be harmful to Kafka.
+   *    This is how we handle such a case:
+   *      - Before the IBP config upgrade (i.e. IBP config set to less than 
KAFKA_2_7_IV0), the
+   *        controller will start up and check if the FeatureZNode is absent. 
If absent, it will
+   *        react by creating a FeatureZNode with disabled status and empty 
finalized features.
+   *        Otherwise, if a node already exists in enabled status then the 
controller will just
+   *        flip the status to disabled and clear the finalized features.
+   *      - After the IBP config upgrade (i.e. IBP config set to greater than 
or equal to
+   *        KAFKA_2_7_IV0), when the controller starts up it will check if the 
FeatureZNode exists
+   *        and whether it is disabled. In such a case, it won’t upgrade all 
features immediately.
+   *        Instead it will just switch the FeatureZNode status to enabled 
status. This lets the
+   *        user finalize the features later.
+   *
+   * 3. Broker binary upgraded, with existing cluster IBP config >= 
KAFKA_2_7_IV0:
+   *    Imagine an existing Kafka cluster with IBP config >= KAFKA_2_7_IV0, 
and the broker binary
+   *    has just been upgraded to a newer version (that supports IBP config 
KAFKA_2_7_IV0 and higher).
+   *    The controller will start up and find that a FeatureZNode is already 
present with enabled
+   *    status and existing finalized features. In such a case, the controller 
needs to scan the
+   *    existing finalized features and mutate them for the purpose of version 
level deprecation
+   *    (if needed).
+   *    This is how we handle this case: If an existing finalized feature is 
present in the default
+   *    finalized features, then, its existing minimum version level is 
updated to the default
