KIP-525 — Return topic metadata and configs in CreateTopics response
Accepted Kafka 2.4 ProtocolAdmin
Extends the `CreateTopicsResponse` to include the newly created topic's metadata (partition count, replication factor) and effective configuration (including broker defaults for unspecified configs). Previously `CreateTopics` returned only success/error status, forcing clients to make separate `Metadata` and `DescribeConfigs` round-trips to learn the actual configuration of a just-created topic.
