fix: add cache to LookupTopicBrokers to eliminate 26% CPU overhead

CRITICAL: LookupTopicBrokers was bypassing cache, causing 26% CPU overhead!

Problem (from CPU profile):
- LookupTopicBrokers: 35.74% CPU (9s out of 25.18s)
- ReadTopicConfFromFiler: 26.41% CPU (6.65s)
- protojson.Unmarshal: 16.64% CPU (4.19s)
- LookupTopicBrokers called b.fca.ReadTopicConfFromFiler() directly on line 35
- Completely bypassed our unified topicCache!

Root Cause:
LookupTopicBrokers is called VERY frequently by clients (every fetch request
needs to know partition assignments). It was calling ReadTopicConfFromFiler
directly instead of using the cache, causing:
1. Expensive gRPC calls to filer on every lookup
2. Expensive JSON unmarshaling on every lookup
3. 26%+ CPU overhead on hot path
4. Our cache optimization was useless for this critical path

Solution:
Created getTopicConfFromCache() helper and updated all callers:

Changes to broker_topic_conf_read_write.go:
- Added getTopicConfFromCache() - public API for cached topic config reads
- Implements same caching logic: check cache -> read filer -> cache result
- Handles both positive (conf != nil) and negative (conf == nil) caching
- Refactored GetOrGenerateLocalPartition() to use new helper (code dedup)
- Now only 14 lines instead of 60 lines (removed duplication)

Changes to broker_grpc_lookup.go:
- Modified LookupTopicBrokers() to call getTopicConfFromCache()
- Changed from: b.fca.ReadTopicConfFromFiler(t) (no cache)
- Changed to: b.getTopicConfFromCache(t) (with cache)
- Added comment explaining this fixes 26% CPU overhead

Cache Strategy:
- First call: Cache MISS -> read filer + unmarshal JSON -> cache for 30s
- Next 1000+ calls in 30s: Cache HIT -> return cached config immediately
- No filer gRPC, no JSON unmarshaling, near-zero CPU
- Cache invalidated on topic create/update/delete

Expected CPU Reduction:
- Before: 26.41% on ReadTopicConfFromFiler + 16.64% on JSON unmarshal = 43% CPU
- After: <0.1% (only on cache miss every 30s)
- Expected total broker CPU: 25.18s -> ~8s (67% reduction!)

Performance Impact (with 250 lookups/sec):
- Before: 250 filer reads/sec + 250 JSON unmarshals/sec
- After: 0.17 filer reads/sec (5 topics / 30s TTL)
- Reduction: 99.93% fewer expensive operations

Code Quality:
- Eliminated code duplication (60 lines -> 14 lines in GetOrGenerateLocalPartition)
- Single source of truth for cached reads (getTopicConfFromCache)
- Clear API: "Always use getTopicConfFromCache, never ReadTopicConfFromFiler directly"

Testing:
-  Compiles successfully
- Ready to deploy and measure CPU improvement

Priority: CRITICAL - Completes the cache optimization to achieve full performance fix
