Description

Currently, the console output of bin/kafka-streams-application-reset.sh is not helpful enough to users:

• we should add a hint to clean up local state using KafkaStreams#cleanup()
• we should clarify what to specify for each parameter (i,e, what is an input topic, what is an intermediate topics)
• we should clarify, that it is not required to specify internal topics (and what those are)
• we should clarify what the tool does for the different topics, ie., seek+commit, delete etc.
