Description
Add support for configuring Kafka topic auto-creation in the exporter by introducing the
allow_auto_topic_creationoption for producers.Franz-go and Sarama differ in their defaults for topic auto-creation. Sarama enables it by default, while Franz-go requires explicit configuration. This PR aligns behavior across both clients and gives users explicit control to avoid unexpected broker errors when topics are not pre-created.

Fixes #42468
Testing
I tested the option using both Sarama and Franz-Go with both values (
trueandfalse) and the behaviour is the expected.
