Does the proxy support rotation of certificates? #86

Description

@james-bjss

We have a requirement for short-lived client certs, unfortunately the Kafka Java clients do not support hot-swapping of certs so this requires us to restart the consumers which subsequently trigger re-balances of the consumer group.

I was looking into a proxy option and wondered if such a setup would be possible with kafka-proxy? Feel like there must be others with this issue and this could be a great use for the proxy.

It looks like there is a PR for librdkafka to achieve this for clients which use this lib, though this is not yet merged.
