Description

For KIP-320, we changed the permissions of the OffsetsForLeaderEpoch to be topic-level so that consumers did not require Cluster permission. However, there is no way for a consumer to know whether the broker is new enough to support this permission scheme. The only way to be sure is to use the version of this API that was bumped in 2.3. For older versions, we should revert to the old behavior.
