feat(out_kafka2): adds support for AWS IAM authentication to MSK usin… #481

…g long lived credentials

Addresses https://github.com/fluent/fluent-plugin-kafka/issues/472

This PR adds support for AWS IAM authentication using long lived credentials (access key id and secret access keys). To support AWS assume role and STS, we will need to wait for upstream's ruby-kafka library support.

We will need to bump ruby-kafka to 1.5.0 in order to support this feature.

It's not this PR's problem but I think it would be better to unify indent & setting mandatory parameters.

BTW according to https://github.com/zendesk/ruby-kafka ruby-kafka is no longer maintained. We might need to consider deprecating also this plugin...

@ashie I saw that too 😢 I spent a bit of time digging up the story for librdkafka but it looks like there's ~a heavy~ (perhaps overlooked) push back from the author / Confluent to support pluggable authentication call back in librdkafka which means there's no way to support AWS IAM auth 😢 (Basically they are not implementing this KIP https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-86%3A+Configurable+SASL+callback+handlers)
