Description

When running pycapa in a Kerberized environment, but without a version of librdkafka built with SASL support, it can produce error messages that look-like the following.

KafkaError{code=_INVALID_ARG,val=-186,str="No such configuration property: "sasl.kerberos.principal""}

This can happen when a user accidentally installs multiple version of librdkafka and the version that the Python interpreter links to is the one without SASL support.

I am going to update the README to doc this specific condition.
