[FLINK-3368][Kafka 0.8] Handle leader changes in Kafka Consumer.
Please see the JIRA for an explanation of the problems.
tl;dr: The Kafka 0.8 consumer now handles broker failures internally,
without relying on Flink's checkpointing / job recovery.
The test case which was previously relying on a topology restart is now
expecting the consumers to handle the failure.
I also tested this change on a 7 nodes cluster. The job was running for 30
minutes, surviving 4 broker shutdowns.
