Description

This is a follow up on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4008

Currently, Kafka Streams Application Reset Tool is part of core module due to ZK dependency. After KIP-4 got merged, this dependency can be dropped and the Reset Tool can be moved to streams module.

This should also update InternalTopicManager#filterExistingTopics that revers to ResetTool in an exception message:
"Use 'kafka.tools.StreamsResetter' tool"
-> "Use '" + kafka.tools.StreamsResetter.getClass().getName() + "' tool"

Doing this JIRA also requires to update the docs with regard to broker backward compatibility – not all broker support "topic delete request" and thus, the reset tool will not be backward compatible to all broker versions.
