Creating a new user currently requires the Redpanda Admin API to be configured. There are multiple issues with this:

The Kafka API also provides a way of creating/updating/deleting Kafka users. We should offer this as an alternative if the Redpanda admin api is not configured.
We do not disable the Create User button if creating users is not possible. This is a bad UX as users would try to create users and only after submitting the form they will see the error message

Proposal:

Implement backend to support managing users via the Kafka API
Expose whether managing users is supported so that the frontend can use this to disable buttons as needed
Frontend should disable buttons if the functionality is not available
