[FLINK-37299][Connector/Pulsar] Flink stateless startup cannot contin…

[yebai1105]

Purpose of the change

Controls whether Flink continues to consume from the location recorded by the consumer group or from the location specified by StartCursor when it starts from stateless.

1、If 'pulsar.source.resetSubscriptionCursor' = 'true', each time a Flink task is restarted, it will consume according to the consumption location specified by the StartCursor configuration. 2、If 'pulsar.source.resetSubscriptionCursor' = 'fasle', no matter what value 'StartCursor' is set to, each restart will start consuming from the location recorded by the consumer group.

Brief change log

The value of pulsar.source.resetSubscriptionCursor determines whether Flink continues to consume from the location recorded by the consumer group or from the location specified by StartCursor when it starts from stateless.

@yebai1105 If the StartCursor for consumption is set to "earliest", will there be any issues just by changing this part? Looking at the code, there is no other place where the cursor is set except here. It seems that the "subscriptionInitialPosition" needs to be set when creating the consumer in the PulsarPartitionSplitReader.
