Support platform generator type templates to infrastructure as code

[emeraldjava]

Why do we need this improvement?

The idea here that we can extend the existing 'asyncapi generate' command to generate platform commands to create/configure the topics.

How will this change help?

This enables the user to leverage the asyncapi file as a form of infrastructure as code.

How could it be implemented/designed?

On the assumption that kafka is the most popular event broker this enhancement would take the list of topic names from the ayncapi yml file, and output a set of 'kafka' style command to config the needed topics.

kafka-topics.sh --create --topic 'topic-name-per-async-api-yml'

The existing cli supports these two options currently

asyncapi generate fromTemplate ASYNCAPI TEMPLATE
asyncapi generate models LANGUAGE FILE

and i'd foresee a 3rd flavour called 'platform'

asyncapi generate platform ASYNCAPI

which based on the broker type in yml file we'd call the relevant platform-template module.

makes sense to me ✌️

Can easily be extended for multiple protocols 🤙 Remember to add this to the CLI not the generator though 🙂 https://github.com/asyncapi/cli

Let me move the issue to the cli repo and an attempt to start a coded proposal.
