Motivation

Both of ConsumerConfig#addDeserializerToConfig(Properties, Deserializer, Deserializer) and ProducerConfig#addSerializerToConfig(Properties, Serializer, Serializer) are useless after https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/8605.

No new interface

                                                   Serializer<?> keySerializer,
                                                   Serializer<?> valueSerializer)

public static Properties addDeserializerToConfig(Properties properties,
                                                     Deserializer<?> keyDeserializer,
                                                     Deserializer<?> valueDeserializer)
