V2 MQ Source Connector Support for XML to JSON converter from Apach Kafka

We have multiple use cases where a legacy system produces a XML mmessage fformat that is not fit for consumption downstream.

    We have multiple use cases that would need to ingest an XML message from a legacy MQ queue on prem which is needs to be converted to a more Kafka-friendly message format like JSON before it can be transformed into a downstream data warehouse or consumer application.

    The message producer for majority of these use cases is on z/OS (there is significant tech debt adding a JSON converter), and we have other legacy processes using XML that could benefit from this functionality.  This would be appealing to other IBM customers modernizing around Kafka.

    JSON Converter:
    mq.record.builder=com.ibm.eventstreams.kafkaconnect.plugins.xml.XmlMQRecordBuilder

    value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
    value.converter.schemas.enable=false

    Example Message in XML:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ebcdic-cp-us"?><RecvDeliverSec><FirmNbr>99</FirmNbr><SubNbr>1</SubNbr><BranchId>9AAK</BranchId><RepId>AMGW</RepId><AcctNbr>99086900</AcctNbr><AcctType>1</AcctType><TranDesc>JRL</TranDesc><Qty>+100.00000</Qty><TradeDate>2024-05-17</TradeDate><SecNbr>8978942</SecNbr><Init>659</Init><ExecTradeId>+240517135423305815</ExecTradeId><AcctPseudoType>1</AcctPseudoType><SecDesc>FRANKLIN TEMPLETON</SecDesc><CUSIPNbr>35473P553</CUSIPNbr><SecAlpha>FRKLN LIBERTY US COR ETF</SecAlpha><TypeCode>C</TypeCode><NewTypeCode>M</NewTypeCode><Symbol>FLCB</Symbol><AcctAlpha>RICHIE  ZAPPER</AcctAlpha><ManagePlanId>SUMA</ManagePlanId><PrtfVendorCode>SW</PrtfVendorCode><FirmProductCode>SUMA</FirmProductCode></RecvDeliverSec>
