Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The types used to store information in the Kafka cluster are strings. If a key is a simple type managed from Kafka store it as native type: e.g. an integer shall be stored as integer. This can help in management of Apache Kafka Streams DSL.

Describe the solution you'd like
Remove strong definition of generic type using the constraint <string, string> at least in ProducerRecord and Producer

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A

Additional context
Maybe KNet shall be evolved

Postponed waiting for #60

KNet comes with types like KNetProducerRecord and KNetProducer which are able to manage serialization/deserialization using classes based on KNetSerDes: the latest mentioned types shall replace the current one.
