Support for external Kafka service as Stream node

[Virusmater]

Since 8.7.0 having Pega Stream node is a deprecated configuration. Would be neat to have possibility to configure external Kafka service using environmental variables instead of having need to update prconfig/DSS settings manually. The same way it was done there for Hazelcast and Cassandra

@Virusmater the possibility to configure external Kafka in Helm charts is being developed. We expect to make it available by the end of August.
