Using installed librdkafka to speed up backend development

By default, node-rdkafka builds librdkafka from the source. This can take minutes on a bad day and can slow development down quite considerably. However, there's an option to use the version installed locally.

Do this in some other directory than the project one:

wget https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/archive/v1.4.0.tar.gz
cd librdkafka-1.4.0
./configure --prefix=/usr
make && make install

You may have to do some of that as root. Alternatively, you can install a prebuilt package - see here for more information. Just be sure to install version >1.4.0.

Set the env BUILD_LIBRDKAFKA=0 when doing npm ci or similar on the backend to skip the build.
