Enhancements

• References librdkafka.redist 1.8.0. Refer to the librdkafka release notes
  for a complete list of changes, enhancements, fixes and upgrade considerations.
• Added the UseLatestVersion configuration property to the Protobuf, JSON Schema and Avro serdes (rayokota).

Fixes

• Breaking Change: Updated the message framing format used by the Protobuf serdes (ProtobufSerializer and ProtobufDeserializer) to be
  compatible with the Java Protobuf serdes (message indices now use zigzag encoding). Note: This framing encodes schema metadata, enabling
  integration with Confluent Schema Registry. To disable, set the UseDeprecatedFormat configuration property to true.
