Description

In a scenario where kafka topics and configuration are usually created and managed by an infrastructure-as-code approach (ansible, terraform etc) it might be desirable to prevent MM2 creating or syncing any resources by itself. 

We already provide config options to disable refreshing/syncing of topics, but currently have no control over their initial creation. Adding new config parameters for this would fill the gap.
