KAFKA-3937: Kafka Clients Leak Native Memory For Longer Than Needed With Compressed Messages @ijuma - Creating this PR against 0.9.0 as this is what we're using in prod. I can modify this for trunk if the logic solution looks good. I modified the record iterator to inherit from closable and implemented the method to call streams.close(). The stream will now be closed when we are done traversing the inner iterator. I had to move the `try {} catch{}` out of the `if` portion to deal with IOException coming from `innerDone()`.
