Adds in the ability to create partitions for an existing topic.
Adds in the ability for clients to synchronize their topic metadata to pick up new partitions and start a producer.

Just seeing the comments now and will get back to you on Monday. I had been exploring a different route locally where the sync is done outside the client in a linked genserver. I wasn't sure if the sync process were to block the client would be disrupted from handling other requests. I'll see about getting those changes up shortly.

This ensure the new partitions get a producer but then we need to tell the client to update the metadata so it can use the new partition.

variant for starting just the partition producer with the correct child spec

@zmstone got the update in I mentioned over the weekend. Is there a specific formatter you recommend looks like the one for my IDE formatted some stuff showing more changes than were there previously. I did make the change to start the partition producer under the brod_supervisor3 as mentioned in your previous comment. Working on the tests for the brod_partitions_sync module still.

Hi @BlueCollarChris
Thank you for the PR and sorry for the slow review.

About code format: we use https://github.com/WhatsApp/erlfmt
example for ref:
https://github.com/kafka4beam/brod-cli/blob/f8a2784f4ffb7aa70bf8006c2b519ca12991c4f7/rebar.config#L7-L10

Possible to leave code reformat out in this PR? it makes review easier.

could you add another case which starts producers for a topic, then create new partitions, then assert that partition producer is started automatically?

%% @doc A `brod_partitions_sync' is a `gen_server' that is responsible for fetching
%% the latest partition counts for a client and ensuring external changes to partitions
%% are propogated to the clients and starts a producer for the partition if not present

there is maybe no need for this module.
we can start a timer (ticker) in brod_client process to trigger a periodic metadata refresh.

brod_client will automatically start the producers for newly discovered partitions.

brod/src/brod_client.erl
