Describe the feature you're interested in

Hi,

This is a feature request to make credential masking switchable via a configuration variable.

When using the UI to do development of Kafka connectors it is a bit cumbersome to have to re-enter credentials when editing a connector. Whereas this is of course useful in production environments, it'd help connector developers to speed up their development tasks if it was not necessary re-insert credentials.

The patch should not be big, perhaps just putting the body of the sanitize method in KafkaConfigSanitizer behind a configuration switch (default value keeping the current behaviour) would be enough.

I'm happy to submit a patch if you'd be willing to accept this change.

Thanks.
