KAFKA-6174; Add methods in Options classes to keep binary compatibility with 0.11 From 0.11 to 1.0, we moved `DescribeClusterOptions timeoutMs(Integer timeoutMs)` from DescribeClusterOptions to AbstractOptions. User reports that code compiled against 0.11.0 fails when it is executed with 1.0 kafka-clients jar. This patch adds back these methods to keep binary compatibility with 0.11.
