Description

When KIP-449 was implemented and released as part of AK 2.3, we chose to not enable these extra logging context information by default because it was not backward compatible, and anyone relying upon the `connect-log4j.properties` file provided by the AK distribution would after an upgrade to AK 2.3 (or later) see different formats for their logs, which could break any log processing functionality they were relying upon.

However, we should enable this in AK 3.0, whenever that comes. Doing so will require a fairly minor KIP to change the `connect-log4j.properties` file slightly.

Marked this as BLOCKER since it's a backward incompatible change that we definitely want to do in the 3.0.0 release.
