Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Users have no visibility into connect worker configuration in ksqldb. That means user workflow will be either:

  1. Drop out of ksqldb to view the configuration file at ksql.connect.worker.config
  2. If user can’t see the worker configuration, override all parameters

Describe the solution you'd like Need to surface connect worker configuration to ksqldb CLI.

Research direction
Examine how connect worker configuration is currently loaded (see ConnectWorkerConfig class). Investigate how other system properties are surfaced in the CLI (e.g., SHOW PROPERTIES). Then, implement a new command like SHOW CONNECT CONFIG or extend SHOW PROPERTIES to include worker config. Ensure the response can be rendered in the CLI format.
