Update avro dependency

Notice for Python 3 users
A package called "avro-python3" had been provided to support Python 3 previously, but the codebase was consolidated into the "avro" package and that supports both Python 2 and 3 now. The avro-python3 package will be removed in the near future, so users should use the "avro" package instead. They are mostly API compatible, but there's a few minor difference (e.g., function name capitalization, such as avro.schema.Parse vs avro.schema.parse).

@edenhill Hey, this PR is critical for my work to use any version of confluent-kafka past version 1.5.0, since there is a bug in avro v1.10.0 that is fixed in avro 1.11.1. Can we get this PR merged and released?

If there's anything I can do to accelerate this process, please let me know.

Hey @edenhill this is a pretty trivial PR, but it would solve a lot of problems for me (and my team at Wayfair) if it were merged/released. Can you pleeeeeeaaaaasee put it on your short list?

[edenhill]

LGTM, let's wait for CI to pass before merging.

Thank you!

@edenhill Hey, I've been waiting over 2 months for a release with this commit. Any idea when the next release is going to be?
