Subject: [PATCH 15/24] Fix broker_conf for KIP-932 and resolve broker_version
 inconsistencies

Always boot Kafka 4.2.0 (broker_version, use_kraft); single test broker config
that supports classic, KIP-848 consumer, and KIP-932 share groups.

- broker_version() always returns '4.2.0' (resolves bug where 3.9 broker would
  reject 4.2-only configs in broker_conf)
- use_kraft() always returns True (4.2.0 is KRaft-only; ZooKeeper mode would
  fail to start a 4.2 broker)
- broker_conf(): add group.share.enable=true (the test-infra knob the Apache
  Kafka project's own integration tests use)
- broker_conf(): add group.share.record.lock.duration.ms=1000 (the actual
  lock duration; previously only the min was set, leaving locks at the 30s
  default)
- broker_conf(): drop redundant group.coordinator.rebalance.protocols line
  (default in 4.2 is already [classic, consumer, streams])
- Drop redundant 'share' CI job from semaphore.yml (share tests now run in
  the regular CI lanes since the broker always supports share groups)
- Remove dead code: use_group_protocol_share, _broker_supports_share,
  _broker_major_version, _trivup_cluster_type_kraft, _TRIVUP_CLUSTER_TYPE_ENV

Resolves comments #5, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #26 from PR review.

+# Example KIP-932 ShareConsumer.
+#
+# A share consumer reads from one or more topics like a queue: many consumers
+# in the same share group can read the same partition, and each record is
+# acknowledged individually instead of via offset commits.
+#
+# Differences from the regular Consumer:
+#   * poll() returns a LIST of messages (possibly empty), not a single
+#     message — share consumers can deliver multiple records per call.
+#   * No commit() / store_offsets() / offset-commit callbacks. Records
+#     produced *after* a consumer joins are eligible for delivery; if a
+#     record isn't acked within the broker-configured lock duration, it is
+#     redelivered to another consumer in the share group (at-least-once).
+#   * No partition-assignment callback. Many consumers can read the same
+#     partition; the broker is responsible for distributing records.
