GH-4012: Fix ContainerProperties & ConsumerProperties toString() for StringBuilder

Fixes: #4012

* Improve toString() performance with StringBuilder

This commit improves the performance of toString() methods in
ContainerProperties and ConsumerProperties classes by replacing
string concatenations with StringBuilder usage.

Motivation:
The ContainerProperties.toString() method is frequently used in
Spring Boot applications for debugging Kafka container configuration
issues. With 40+ properties being concatenated using the + operator,
the original implementation created excessive temporary String
objects, leading to:

- Memory allocation overhead
- Performance degradation in logging-heavy scenarios
- Increased GC pressure

Changes:

ContainerProperties:
- Replaced string concatenation with StringBuilder in toString()
  method
- Added helper methods for consistent formatting:
  - appendProperty(): for regular non-null properties
  - appendEnabledProperty(): for properties with "enabled/not enabled"
    formatting
- Improved organization with logical property grouping and
  descriptive comments
- Enhanced maintainability through reduced code duplication

ConsumerProperties:
- Updated renderProperties() method to use StringBuilder instead of
  string concatenations
- Modified renderTopics() to accept StringBuilder parameter for
  efficiency
- Applied ContainerProperties improvements

Performance Impact:
- Reduced memory allocations during toString() operations
- Improved performance in logging-heavy scenarios
- Better scalability for applications with frequent container
  configuration logging

Backward Compatibility:
- No breaking changes
- Output format unchanged
- All existing functionality preserved

* Skip null fields in toString() output

Omit properties with null values from the toString() output by updating
the appendProperty method. This improves readability and avoids clutter
in logs by excluding unset configuration fields.

* Apply Spring code style using spring-framework.xml

Reformatted ContainerProperties.java to comply with the project's
Spring-specific IntelliJ code style configuration. This ensures
consistency and passes local style checks.

* Remove trailing whitespace to fix checkstyle violations

Removed trailing spaces from lines 517, 533, 535, 542, and 546 in
ConsumerProperties.java. This change ensures that `./gradlew check`
passes successfully, addressing the reviewer's request for code style
compliance.
