FLUME-2781. Kafka Channel with parseAsFlumeEvent=true should write data as is,
not as flume events.

> A Kafka Channel defined as parseAsFlumeEvent=false cannot be correctly used

>
> When a Kafka channel is configured as parseAsFlumeEvent=false, the channel
> will read events from the topic as text instead of serialized Avro Flume
> events.
> This is useful so Flume can read from an existing Kafka topic, where other
> Kafka clients publish as text.
> However, if you use a Flume source on that channel, it will still write the
> events as Avro so it will create an inconsistency and those events will fail
> to be read correctly.
> Also, this would allow a Flume source to write to a Kafka channel and any
> Kafka subscriber to listen to Flume events passing through without binary
> dependencies.
