Added documentation for the outputs[].config.maxMessageBytes parameter in the Kafka output configuration tables for sentry, cannon, and mimicry. This parameter was previously undocumented despite being implemented in the codebase.

Introduced by commit 1e346b0 (@samcm).

Without this documentation, developers configuring Kafka outputs would be unaware of the maxMessageBytes parameter and its distinction from flushBytes: maxMessageBytes controls the per-message size limit (messages exceeding it are dropped), while flushBytes controls the batch flush threshold. This could lead to unexpected message drops without understanding how to configure the proper limit.
