Description

Relating to one of the outstanding work items in PR [#5117|https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/5117...]

 

Keep Literal ACLs on the old paths, using the old formats, to maintain backwards compatibility.

Have Prefixed, and any latter types, go on new paths, using JSON, (old brokers are not aware of them).

Add checks to reject any adminClient requests to add prefixed acls before the cluster is fully upgraded.
