Adding rack-aware replication option.
Adding rack-aware replication option. rack-id defaults to -1. use the
max-rack-replication option when creating a topic to distribute replicas such
that no more than max-rack-replication replicas are hosted on the same rack-id.
This option is also enforced when adding new partitions. The option does not
enforce manual (re)assignment.
