Feature request: Topic protection

[RafaelloLoliop]

Looking for simple flag to prevent removal of topic resource on client side.

As lifecycle is not something enough adjustable in this case, small addition to provider will be much welcome. Similar solution can be found here

You could leverage the terraform lifecycle prevent_destroy param here

resource "kafka_topic" "logs" {
  name               = "systemd_logs"
  replication_factor = 2
  partitions         = 100

  lifecycle {
    prevent_destroy = true
  }
}

Lifecycle require to have string literal. I think common way to setup kafka topic is by using for loop (at least my:P) -> then it is impossible to set lifecycle flag from variable or somehow change later only for single topic.
