KAFKA-2656: Remove hardcoded default key and truststores

in Kafka server or client properties

KAFKA-2656: Remove hardcoded default key and truststores to enable JVM
defaults to be used
----
> Default SSL keystore and truststore config are unusable

> Key: KAFKA-2656
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2656
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Rajini Sivaram
> Assignee: Rajini Sivaram
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 0.9.0.0
>
>
> Default truststore for clients and default key and truststore for Kafka
> server are set to files in /tmp along with simplistic passwords. Since no
> sample stores are packaged with Kafka anyway, there is no value in hardcoded
> paths and passwords as defaults.
> Moreover these defaults prevent the use of standard javax.net.ssl properties.
> And they force truststores to be set in Kafka configuration even when
> certificates are signed by a trusted authority included in the Java cacerts.
> Default keystores and truststores should be replaced with JVM defaults.
