Title: Updates to work with the latest kafka-python API changes

tail2kafka would not work with the latest kafka-python library. It seems that the API for both the KafkaClient and the SimpleProducer have changed. The KafkaClient now wants the host/port as a single string like "localhost:9092". The SimpleProducer no longer wants the topic. I also imported the logging because it made it easier to use the logging in the kafka-python library when debugging and errors arise.
