Description

Backport 4.3.x bug

Describe the issue
Inclusion of spring-cloud-stream-binder-kafka.jar in classpath changes properties of spring.kafka that affects existing @KafkaListeners.

The jar registers KafkaBinderEnvironmentPostProcessor that adds property source kafkaBinderDefaultProperties that in turn changes default properties of spring-kafka.

Is it possible to make introduction of the framework more safe in terms of impact on existing functionality?

Version of the framework 2024.0.1
Expected behavior Inclusion of the framework should not affect other frameworks.
