KAFKA-5987: Maintain order of metric tags in generated documentation
The `MetricNameTemplate` is changed to used a `LinkedHashSet` to maintain
the same order of the tags that are passed in. This tag order is then
maintained when `Metrics.toHtmlTable` generates the MBean names for each of the
metrics.
The `SenderMetricsRegistry` and `FetcherMetricsRegistry` both contain
templates used in the producer and consumer, respectively, and these were
changed to use a `LinkedHashSet` to maintain the order of the tags.
Before this change, the generated HTML documentation might use MBean names
like the following and order them:
```
kafka.connect:type=sink-task-metrics,connector={connector},partition={partition},task={task},topic={topic}
kafka.connect:type=sink-task-metrics,connector={connector},task={task}
```
However, after this change, the documentation would use the following order:
```
kafka.connect:type=sink-task-metrics,connector={connector},task={task}
kafka.connect:type=sink-task-metrics,connector={connector},task={task},topic={topic},partition={partition}
```
This is more readable as the code that is creating the templates has
control over the order of the tags.
Note that JMX MBean names use ObjectName that does not maintain order of
the properties (tags), so this change should have no impact on the actual JMX
MBean names used in the metrics.
