MINOR: Clean up comments and remove unused code in RecordVersion and CreateTopicsRequestTest (apache#19342)

## Summary

This PR updates the `RecordVersion` javadoc for clarity. It removes
outdated references to `message.format.version` mentioned in the [Kafka
4.0 upgrade
documentation](https://github.com/apache/kafka-site/blob/48f06981ee81ea56b94918c01f399b0b64c98e0b/40/upgrade.html#L135)
and aligns with feedback from a previous discussion in [apache#19325
](apache#19325).

## Changes
- Cleaned up javadoc in `RecordVersion`
- Removed outdated or deprecated references
