Description

https://github.com/redpanda-data/redpanda/issues/7920 introduced a partition based API cloud storage status API: v1/cloud_storage/status/{topic}/{partition}. We should that with a topic based API that does the same thing.

The challenge is keeping the number of internal RPCs reasonable (think of topics with thousands of partitions). Some caching may have to be introduced for this.

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #7920 and the existing partition-based endpoint, v1/cloud_storage/status/{topic}/{partition}. Define the corresponding topic-based status/usage API and determine how to keep internal RPCs reasonable for topics with thousands of partitions, potentially using caching; done means the topic-level API provides the same status information without excessive RPCs.
