rgw/notifications: test refactoring

* kafka: pass full broker list to consumer in tests
* kafka: use ip instead of localhost
* kafka: make sure topic exists before consumer start
* kafka: fix zookeeper and broker conf in tests
* kafka: verify receiver in the test
* kafka: tests were not running (Fixes: https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/72240)
* kafka: failover tests were failing (Fixes: https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/71585)
* simplify basic tests run command
* v2 migration tests were not running
* fix failing migration tests
