Simple Kafka Container with embedded ZooKeeper

At the moment GitLab CI does not easily support interconnecting services (see #15220). This container runs ZooKeeper as daemon and Kafka as foreground process, so it can be used out-of-the-box for CI testing.

It follows Apache Kafka Quickstart, usings the CLI tools shipped with the binary release to start a ZooKeeper daemon and the Kafka server.
