Kafka Connect: route to table using topic name

[bryanck]

Feature Request / Improvement

Currently the Kafka Connect sink supports writing to multiple tables, and you can configure the sink to route a record to a table based on a field value. A common use case of the sink is ingesting from multiple source topics and writing to multiple tables, routing records to tables based on the source topic rather than a field value. This can be achieved by adding the topic name to the record via an SMT, but a better approach would be to use the record's topic without having to add a field.
