kafka: upgrade kafka source code and server dependencies to 2.8.1

[adamkotwasinski]

Commit Message: kafka: upgrade kafka source code and server dependencies to 2.8.1
Additional Description: as per #17260 (comment) upgrade the dependencies; also get rid of source patch in favour of processing in python script
There are some minor changes in mesh code due to Kafka protocol spec files changing field names a little (e.g. this vs this), but it does not impact the protocol's functioning (it's the same bytes after all - we just reference them differently).
Risk Level: Low
Testing: integration tests (server versions: 2.4.1, 2.8.1), manual tests for broker-filter (client=2.5.1 + server=2.4.0; client=2.8.1 + server=2.8.1), manual tests for mesh-filter (client=2.4.1; client=2.8.1; server=2.8.1)
Docs Changes: Minor .rst updates (because Kafka versions are explicitly mentioned there)
Release Notes: N/A
Platform Specific Features: N/A

Are you going to bump the dependencies in bazel/repository_locations.bzl?

https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/blob/main/bazel/repository_locations.bzl#L930-L977

FYI, a release candidate for 2.8.1 came out this morning - https://github.com/apache/kafka/releases/tag/2.8.1-rc0

And bump https://github.com/dpkp/kafka-python/releases/tag/2.0.2

@moderation
yes - it's a draft right now, because 2.5 and further ones added new data types so I need to write some more C++ code (uuid, records, float64)
I'd rather do only this one https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/blob/main/bazel/repository_locations.bzl#L931 in this PR, because it's going to be noisy anyways ; other ones will follow independently

[moderation]

2.8.1 is out - https://github.com/apache/kafka/releases/tag/2.8.1

[moderation]

3.0.0 is out - https://github.com/apache/kafka/releases/tag/3.0.0

[adamkotwasinski]

source-code (for generating parser code) and server (for integration tests) dependencies have been updated to 2.8.1
what's coming in the future: update to 3.x (not doing this time to avoid pulling even more noise) and dpkp-kafka-python / librdkafka ones
