KAFKA-3761: Remove BrokerState "RunningAsController" The reasons to remove it are: 1. It's currently broken. The purpose of the [JIRA](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3761) was to report that the RunningAsController state gets overwritten back to "RunningAsBroker". 2. It's not a useful state. a. If clients want to use this metric to know whether a broker is ready to receive requests or not, they do not care whether or not the broker is the controller b. there is already a separate boolean property, KafkaController.isActive which contains this information.
