Description

According to KIP-558 for the new Connect topic tracking feature, Connect should not write the topic status records when the topic is disabled. However, currently that is not the case: when the new topic tracking (KIP-558) feature is disabled, Connect still writes topic status records to the internal status topic. 

Also, according to the KIP, Connect should automatically reset the topic status when a connector is deleted, but that is not happening.

It'd be good to increase test coverage on the new feature.
