Should this exclude dlq topics?? #4

Not really an issue but a Suggestion. First of all, great tool.. Thanks Abraham.

I ran it for a cluster on CC. It listed dlq topics as well. dlq topics are connector-created and are required. I suggest to either flag this as a message, say at the beginning of text file, to carefully decide which topics to be deleted. For eg; dlq topics, retry topics(created by devs/ applications), error topics (generally created by HTTP Sink Connector) All these topics are generally empty but still required.
