Support for wildcard topic_key

[brsolomon-deloitte]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If I have a wildcard <match zeek.**> for @type kafka2, it would be great to have a way for topic_key to simply mirror the actual topic that is picked up.

Describe the solution you'd like

<match zeek.**>
  @type kafka2

...

  # write events to this kafka topic
  topic_key TODO # < HERE
  <buffer TODO>
    @type file
    path /var/log/td-agent/buffer/td
    flush_interval 10s
  </buffer>
  default_topic TODO

</match>

Describe alternatives you've considered

Hey @brsolomon-deloitte, we should be able to achieve the same effect by using the topic parameter

e.g.

<match **>
   # etc
   topic "${tag}"

  <buffer tag>
    # etc
 </buffer>
</match>

The topic parameter is not currently documented but we'll work on that.
