Add support for Kafka

[fmvilas]

Reason/Context

Currently, Glee only supports WebSockets (server) and MQTT protocols. This means it's unusable for those using Kafka, AMQP, or any other different protocol.

Description

We should add support for Kafka. In theory, it should be just a matter of adding a new adapter in the adapters folder. However, we should also take into account that Kafka supports exactly-once semantics (unlike MQTT and WebSockets) and, therefore, it may be a good idea to address #27 first, although not required.
