Support for Kafka Topic Admin API

[vdeurzen]

It seems that librdkafka has support for the Kafka Topic Admin API (confluentinc/librdkafka#986), are there plans for implementing this in CppKafka? If this is not yet on the roadmap, would you be interested in contributions?

I'll give this one a go. It will likely take me a while as I don't have too much time but I'll keep you posted.

I'm happy to help with review and/or testing if you need.

I'm not having too much time but I'll try to get started on this soon. I've got #125 up that adds event support, which is the base of this whole admin API so that's something. I'll try to keep this thread updated on the development of this.

I started actual work on this in branch admin-api. If you see anything that doesn't look right, feel free to comment. I'll put up a PR once I'm done.
