Description

Description:
Errors thrown in kafka-consumer routes with "breakOnFirstError" enabled does not trigger reprocessing in 3.12.0 and forward, as if option "breakOnFirstError" is not respected.

Reproduction:

• Configure a route consuming from kafka with option "breakOnFirstError" enabled
• Trigger an exception in route

Expected result:

• Should break out, seek back to offset of the message that caused the failure and then reattempt to process the message (as per the [docs|https://camel.apache.org/components/3.14.x/kafka-component.html]: )

Actual result:

• Consumer continuous to next message
