Fixes GH-4278

This PR updates the Spring Kafka reference documentation in the following sections:

  • Quick Tour – Replaces the Spring Boot example to use spring-boot-starter-kafka in Maven and Gradle snippets.

  • Testing Applications – Adds a note that Spring Boot users can use spring-boot-starter-kafka-test in Maven and Gradle snippets.

The changes clarify the recommended usage for Spring Boot projects, where Boot manages Spring Kafka versions automatically. This reduces confusion for users following the Quick Tour or the testing guide.
