api [nfc]: Introduce TopicName extension type

We'll use this to make a type-level distinction between a string
that's being used to name a topic, and just any old string.
That will help us in particular with #1250 the "general chat"
feature, where the way we show a topic name to the user stops being
necessarily just the same string that it appears as in the API.

The next phase will be to migrate a bunch of places in our code
to refer to TopicName when that's what they mean, instead of just
String.

During this phase, a TopicName can be freely used as a String, but
not vice versa.  So we'll do the migrations mostly in order of the
data flow, from upstream to downstream.  That will allow us to do
them over a series of individually coherent commits, with a minimum
of occasions where we temporarily introduce a conversion that won't
be needed in the final result.

That means: first, test data; then topics returned from the API to
our code; then our internal models; then back to the API, this time
for topics passed to the API from our code.

After we have the type in place all over where it belongs, we'll
start making use of the distinction, and then enforcing it.
