Send headers while producing to a Kafka topic

https://github.com/authorjapps/hello-kafka-stream-testing/issues/1

Background

From Slack: Question from: Kushagra @authorjapps is it possible to send a message to a Kafka topic with a particular header? I know we can do that in http. Please advise!

AC1:

As a developer or SDET I want to produce a record with header(s) to a desired Kafka topic So that I verify the business flow related to the headers. e.g.

                "records":[
                    {
                        "key": "${RANDOM.NUMBER}",
                        "value": "Hello World",
                          "headers": {
                                  "key1" : "value1",
                                  "key2" : "value2",
                          }
                          ...
                    }

AC2:

As a developer or Test Engineer I want a help page or a Wiki to learn the usage of the producing and consuming of a Kafka record with headers So that I can easily implement this into the test automation in my project.
