New Configuration Syntax for Kafka Topics with Periods in Names

It is now possible to use the new configuration syntax to configure Kafka topics with periods (.) in their name. #46752 (Robert Schulze).
Support for configuring Kafka topics with periods (.) in their names using the new configuration syntax.

Why it matters

Kafka topics with periods in their names could previously cause configuration issues. This feature allows users to specify such topics correctly in ClickHouse's configuration, improving compatibility and flexibility when integrating with Kafka.

How to use it

Use the new configuration syntax in the Kafka settings to specify topic names containing periods. This enables proper recognition and handling of such topics by ClickHouse.
