KIP-599 — Throttle Create Topic, Create Partition and Delete Topic Operations

Accepted Kafka 2.7 BrokerAdmin

Introduces per-client-id and per-broker mutation rate quotas (`create_topics`, `delete_topics`, `create_partitions`) enforced by the controller to throttle the rate of topic creation, deletion, and partition expansion requests. Unthrottled topic mutation requests can overload the Kafka controller, delaying leader elections and making partitions temporarily unavailable, particularly in shared multi-tenant clusters.
