Motivation

During the discussion for KIP-980, which proposed the creation of connectors in STOPPED state, there was a suggestion to also allow setting the initial offset for a connector in the connector creation API. The proposal was deemed valid (point no.4) but was deferred to a future KIP. This KIP proposes to implement that change.

...

1. first create a connector in STOPPED state and check the response for errors
2. alter the offsets for said connector and check the response for errors
3. finally set the connector state to RUNNING.
