Which use case/requirement will be addressed by the proposed feature?

Adding new fields to source fields is done using SMTs. However, SMTs affect overall performance. Based on our testing, we observed that SMT introduced a 20% performance regression because it requires new records to be recreated with new schemas. 

In each connector, the source field schema and its value are created using a custom implementation of

`AbstractSourceInfoStructMaker`. Custom AbstractSourceInfoStructMaker allows for the addition of new fields to the source field with little/no impact on performance. In order to use custom AbstractSourceInfoStructMakers, connectors need a way to use custom connector config.

Implementation ideas (optional)

In case of postgres connector

1. Create and return custom PostgresSourceInfoStructMaker that includes new additional fields in connector config.

```
protected SourceInfoStructMaker<? extends AbstractSourceInfo> getSourceInfoStructMaker(Version version) {
    return new CustomPostgresSourceInfoStructMaker(Module.name(), Module.version(), this);
}
 
```
  2.  Return new SourceInfo schema in `CustomPostgresSourceInfoStructMaker#getSchema` and new add fields to SoruceInfo in `CustomPostgresSourceInfoStructMaker#struct` method

    3. Add ability return custom connector config in connector task.
