Bug Fixes

• Improve robustness of Schema Registry and HTTP Proxy under several connection errors. by @BenPope in #7774
• #7573 Fix recommissioning stop condition that might prevent the recommission operation from finishing by @mmaslankaprv in #7574

Improvements

• Schema Registry: Improve performance by disabling batching unless explicitly set by @BenPope in #7770
• Set group_initial_rebalance_delay=0 in dev container mode. The default setting adds a 3s delay when using consumers groups in unit tests and is a bad UX. by @bharathv in #7801
• #7795 Fix const in connection_rate_limit_test by @VadimPlh in #7796
• #8009 Improve speed when recovering a large topic in some situations. by @ballard26 in #8010
