Add an endpoint to remove all connectors for a given plugin

[tomasz-sadura]

When a connector plugin gets removed from Kafka Connect, :8083/connectors?expand=info&expand=status call to Kafka Connect replies with {"error_code":500,"message":"Failed to find any class that implements Connector and which name matches ... "}, returning no connectors. It causes Redpanda Console to show fail status for the whole connect cluster and no connectors are displayed. A new endpoint to remove all defined connectors for a given connector class will allow to unblock Redpanda Console and restore functionality of connectors management in case of connector plugin removal from Kafka Connect.

If the request cannot return the connector list, how to delete some of them?

This is fixed in Kafka 3.4.0: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13989
