    MINOR: Fix log messages for epoch comparison in ReplicationControlManager 
(#21729)
    
    Log messages in
    
    
`org.apache.kafka.controller.ReplicationControlManager#validateAlterPartitionData`
    are misleading and are not coherent with the other log messages (where
    "current" indicate the controller state coming from
    PartitionRegistration).
