Description

We now have 2 OffsetAndMetadata classes that are almost identical:

• kafka.common.OffsetAndMetadata
• org.apache.kafka.coordinator.group.OffsetAndMetadata

(There's a 3rd class, org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.OffsetAndMetadata, but it serves a different purpose)

We should get rid of the Scala class (kafka.common.OffsetAndMetadata) and use org.apache.kafka.coordinator.group.OffsetAndMetadata everywhere. This would also help migrate a bunch of classes (Partition, ReplicaManager) out of the core module.
