Review Comment:
   I'm afraid that processing background here events could bring undesired 
effects, mainly because it may include callbacks, which are totally unrelated 
to a call to consumer.position() for instance.
   
   If there's a call to consumer.position, and a reconciliation starts in the 
background around the same time (ie. new partition assigned from the broker), 
the background will enqueue a CallbackNeededEvent, so we could end up actually 
running the callback here, as part of the call to position, which is not right.
   
   I believe that we should not use `processBackgroundEvents` as a means of 
knowing that a specific event that we sent to the background failed. We should 
ensure that the event is completed exceptionally in the background instead. 
Wouldn't that work, and avoid mixing errors and callbacks? (related info in the 
jira too)
