---------------------------------------
[~ijuma] [~harsha_ch] [~junrao] Do you have time to review this PR? I
refactored some unit test code to reuse them for Sasl tests, so the changeset
looks bigger than the actual code changes. The main change is the config option
for Sasl mechanism and the addition of SASL/PLAIN support. It would be of great
help to us if this can be included in 0.9.0.0. Thank you...

> KAFKA-1686 supports SASL/Kerberos using GSSAPI. We should enable more SASL
> mechanisms. SASL/PLAIN would enable a simpler use of SASL, which along with
> SSL provides a secure Kafka that uses username/password for client
> authentication.
> SASL/PLAIN protocol and its uses are described in
> [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4616]. It is supported in Java.
> This should be implemented after KAFKA-1686. This task should also hopefully
> enable simpler unit testing of the SASL code.
