KIP-755 — Add new AUTO_CREATE ACL for auto topic creation
Discussion Security
Introduces a new `AUTO_CREATE` ACL operation that grants permission specifically for auto-topic creation (triggered by `MetadataRequest`) distinct from the `CREATE` ACL used for explicit `CreateTopicsRequest`. Currently a single `CREATE` ACL covers both auto-creation and explicit creation, preventing administrators from allowing auto-creation (which uses broker defaults) without also granting full topic creation rights.
