[Bug]: The KafkaTopic.status.topicId is never updated

[fvaleri]

Bug Description

The KafkaTopic.status.topicId keeps the old value when the topic is recreated in Kafka while the reconciliation is paused/disabled, or the operator is not running.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new KT
2. Pause/unmanage the KT
3. Recreate the topic in Kafka
4. Unpause/manage the KT

Expected behavior

We should set the topicId when the KT is managed and topicId is not set. We should remove the topicId when KT is paused or unmanaged.
