*AK broker-side functionality requiring future KIP

For the quality-of-life change, proposed is the shortening of specifying entity type and name into a single flag:

--entity-type <TYPES> --entity-name <NAME> can be shortened to --<TYPE>-name <NAME>
- E.g. --entity-type topics --entity-name some-topic can be shortened to --topic-name some-topic
--entity-type <TYPES> --entity-default can be shortened to --<TYPE>-defaults
- E.g. --entity-type brokers --entity-default can be shortened to --broker-defaults
