KAFKA-3982: Fix processing order of some of the consumer properties This PR updates processing of console consumer's input properties. For both old and new consumer, the value provided for `auto.offset.reset` indirectly through `consumer.config` or `consumer.property` arguments will now take effect. For new consumer and for `key.deserializer` and `value.deserializer` properties, the precedence order is fixed to first the value directly provided as an argument, then the value provided indirectly via `consumer.property` and then `consumer.config`, and finally a default value.
