Description

Timestamps were added to records in the previous release, however this does not get propagated automatically to Connect because it uses custom wrappers to add fields and rename some for clarity.

The addition of timestamps should be trivial, but can be really useful (e.g. in sink connectors that would like to include timestamp info if available but when it is not stored in the value).

This is public API so it will need a KIP despite being very uncontentious.
