Description

Originally I thought it would be useful to have an unsupported version error returned when the broker's IBP did not support the operation. However, this error is transient and in the case of describe topics, it may not be accurate. Additionally, unsupported version is not retriable when the scenarios that see this likely should be. 

I propose always returning UNKNOWN_TOPIC_ID error when the topic ID is not found on the broker.
