KAFKA-4665: Normalize handling of non-existing topics/partitions in fetching offsets This PR brings some consistency around how non-existing topics or partitions are handled when fetching offsets using different versions of offset fetch API. In particular, it now * returns `UNKNOWN_TOPIC_OR_PARTITION` for non-existing topics or partitions in versions 1 and later (similar to how it is done in version 0) * throws a `KafkaException` when consumers consume from a non-existing topic or partition, or from a topic to which they do not have Describe access.
