This PR enhances Kafka documentation for log compaction in design.html by:

  • Including an in-concrete before/after example pair to demonstrate how log compaction retains the latest value for any key.
  • Elaborating the elaboration of the tombstone records, their work and process of life.
  • Including the note that describes behavior of log.cleanup.policy=compact.

These modifications are intended to make it easier for new developers and users to comprehend the operations and applications of log compaction, especially the state recovery, deletes, and topic configuration.

No functional alterations. Docs-only release.
