Subject: [PATCH] KAFKA-17393: Remove
 log.message.format.version/message.format.version (KIP-724) (#18267)

Based on [KIP-724](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-724%3A+Drop+support+for+message+formats+v0+and+v1), the `log.message.format.version` and `message.format.version` can be removed in 4.0.

These configs effectively a no-op with inter-broker protocol version 3.0 or higher
since Apache Kafka 3.0, so the impact should be minimal.
