Key: KAFKA-9774

This is a ticket for creating an *official* apache/kafka-connect Docker image.
Does this need a KIP? - I don't think so. This would be a new feature, not
any API change.
Why is this needed?
# Kafka Connect is stateless. I believe this is why a Kafka image is not
created?
# It scales much more easily with Docker and orchestrators. It operates much
like any other serverless / "microservice" web application
# People struggle with deploying it because it is packaged _with Kafka_ ,
which leads some to believe it needs to _*run* with Kafka_ on the same machine.
I think there is separate ticket for creating an official Docker image for
Kafka but clearly none exist. I reached out to Confluent about this, but heard
nothing yet.
