[KAFKA-2383] kafka-env should be separated between client and server

• Type: Improvement

Description

The environment variables set in the kafka-env template take effect in both client and server. One instance in which this causes problems is when enabling JMX by setting JMX_PORT in the kafka-env template. The broker will start successfully, but then when trying to use a client script such as kafka-topics.sh it attempts to rebind to that port, throwing an exception and preventing the client script from running.
