Description

Currently, the configuration propagation logic in MM2 only allows a handful of configurations to be applied to all Connector configs managed by MM2.

In some cases (e.g. custom topic or group filters, metric reporters, etc.) it would be useful to be able to define configurations "globally", without prefixing the config with each replication.

E.g. the "connectors." prefix could be used to declare global Connector configs.

Similarly, only a handful of Connect worker configurations can be configured on the "global" level - there should be a prefix for global worker configs as well (e.g. "workers.")
