    Description

      When we added dynamic config, we added a kafka-config tool (which can be used to maintain configs for non-topic entities), and remove the capability from kafka-topic tool.

      Removing the capability from kafka-topic is:
      1. Breaks backward compatibility in our most essential tools. This has significant impact on usability.
      2. Kinda confusing that --create --config works but --alter --config does not.

      I suggest fixing this.
