KAFKA-4810: Kafka Connect SchemaBuilder unset fields validation fix
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4810
> Currently SchemaBuilder is strict when checking that certain fields have
not been set yet (e.g. version, name, doc). It just checks that the field is
null. This is intended to protect the user from buggy code that overwrites a
field with different values, but it's a bit too strict currently. In generic
code for converting schemas (e.g. Converters) you will sometimes initialize a
builder with these values (e.g. because you get a SchemaBuilder for a logical
type, which sets name & version), but then have generic code for setting name &
version from the source schema.
Changed the validation method to not only check if a field is null but also
to check if the new value that is being set is the same as the current value of
the field.
