KAFKA-3809: Auto-generate documentation for topic-level configuration
@ijuma said that it would make sense to split out this work from
KAFKA-3234, since KAFKA-3234 had both a mechanical change (generating docs) as
well as a change requiring discussion (deprecating/renaming config options).
@jjkoshy, I hope you don't mind that I took over this work. It's been 3
months since the last activity on KAFKA-3234, so I thought it would be okay to
take over.
This work is essentially is the first 5-6 commits from Joel's
https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/907. However, since I'm not very
experienced with git, I didn't do a direct merge/rebase, but instead largely
hand-merged it. I did some minor cleanup. All credit goes to Joel, all blame
goes to me. :)
For reference, I attached the auto-generated configuration.html file (as a
PDF, because github won't let me attached html).
[configuration.pdf](https://github.com/apache/kafka/files/323901/configuration.pdf)
This is my first time writing Scala, so let me know if there are any
changes needed.
I don't know who is the right person to review this. @ijuma, can you help
me redirect this to the appropriate person? Thanks.

> Key: KAFKA-3809
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3809
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: James Cheng
> Assignee: James Cheng
> Attachments: configuration.html, topic_config.html
>
>
> The documentation for topic-level configuration is not auto-generated from
> the code. configuration.html still contains hand-maintained documentation.
> I noticed this because I wanted to set message.timestamp.type on a topic, and
> didn't see that it was supported, but grepped through the code and it looked
> like it was.
> The code to auto-generate the docs is quite close, but needs some additional
> work. In particular, topic-level configuration is different from all the
> other ConfigDefs in that topic-level configuration docs list the broker-level
> config that they inherit from. We would need to have a way to show what
> broker-level config applies to each topic-level config.
