Making topic validation public

Hey there,

Kafka has an internal topic validation logic
<https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/64b8e17827251174490678dd296ce2c1a79ff5ef/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/common/internals/Topic.java#L43>
which
is very useful and effective. Do you think it's possible to make it part of
the public agreement, so that 3rd party integration with Kafka could
validate the topic upfront instead of waiting until the application has
been set up end-to-end?

Hi Boyang,

I feel okay to add a doc section in Kafka about which topic names are
valid; and maybe add such validation into Utils as well.
