Goals

1. Can see connectors on Confluent Cloud, local, and other endpoints.
2. Can perform CRUD on connector resources.
3. See topic(s) a connector is "connected" to.
4. When creating a connector, surface configs as defined in ConfigDefs in user friendly form fields.
5. In additional to creating/updating the connector directly against cluster, allow deployment template (e.g. terraform) to be created after user filled out the form.
6. Have more templates for custom connectors.
