KIP-1187 — Support to retrieve remote log size via DescribeLogDirs RPC

Discussion Tiered StorageAdmin

Extends DescribeLogDirs RPC and the kafka-log-dirs CLI to report remote (tiered) log size per partition in addition to local log size. KIP-405 introduced tiered storage, but remote segment metadata (size, offsets) is only used internally by the broker—administrators have no CLI tool to observe how much data is stored remotely, complicating capacity planning and tiered storage management.
