[Enhancement]: Strimzi Metrics Reporter support

[OwenCorrigan76]

Related problem

Strimzi Metrics Reporter is a new project under the Strimzi organization that directly exposes metrics via an HTTP endpoint in the Prometheus format. We should add support for it to Strimzi. The motivation for creating the new Metrics Reporter can be found in this proposal.

Suggested solution

There are several stages that would need to be added for this enhancement, including:

• The metrics reporter binaries must be added in the 3rd party libs
• API in the api module must be created -> that generates the custom resource definitions
• KafkaClusterSpec needs to be updated to allow for the new Metrics Reporter
• KafkaBrokerConfiguration and other classes need to be updated to handle the logic
