[SPARK-19968][SS] Use a cached instance of `KafkaProducer` instead of
creating one every batch.
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Changes include a new API for doing cleanup of resources in KafkaSink is
added to Sink trait.
In summary, cost of recreating a KafkaProducer for writing every batch is
high as it starts a lot threads and make connections and then closes them. A
KafkaProducer instance is promised to be thread safe in Kafka docs. Reuse of
KafkaProducer instance while writing via multiple threads is encouraged.
Furthermore, I have performance improvement of 10x in latency, with this
patch.
TODO: post exact results.
## How was this patch tested?
Running distributed benchmarks comparing runs with this patch and without
it.
Added relevant unit tests.
