Description

At the moment the Schema Registry's internal topic name is fixed to _schemas. Having the ability to use a topic with a different name would allow an external Schema Registry's topic (e.g. _schemas_schemaregistry_confluent) to be replicated to Redpanda and used by Redpanda's native Schema Registry without modifying the topic name.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Schema Registry code and configuration that fixes the internal topic to _schemas; trace how the topic is used for replication and native registry operations. Done means a configurable topic name allows an external Schema Registry topic to be replicated and used without renaming it.
