Adds support for enabling Kafka’s next-generation balancer (a GA feature for Kafka ≥ 4.0.0) introduced in franz-go v1.19.0+. This feature provides improved partition assignment and rebalancing behavior.
By default, in the franz-go client, this feature is marked as hidden, as the maintainer noted potential instability concerns that have not yet received official recognition or confirmation.
This PR aims to resolve issue #1815.
