GH-2566: Both Converters in Container Factory

 NOTE: Starting with version 2.8, you can override the factory's `batchListener` propery using the `batch` property on the `@KafkaListener` annotation.
 This, together with the changes to <<error-handlers>> allows the same factory to be used for both record and batch listeners.
 
+NOTE: Starting with version 2.9.6, the container factory has separate setters for the `recordMessageConverter` and `batchMessageConverter` properties.
+Previously, there was only one property `messageConverter` which applied to both record and batch listeners.
