Kafka replication: Add a system parameter to set the number of Kafka producer threads

Currently CDC is relying on the number of source tables in the subscription to determine the number of Kafka producer threads.

As an alternative, a Kafka data store parameter could be use to set the number of Kafka producer threads the same way it is done with the formatter threads (serializers) with the target_num_image_builder_threads system parameter.

We only have one source table in our subscription and adding dummy tables in the subscription to increase the number of Kafka producer threads is not an option we have in production.
