Adding ACL management on the bundled Schema Registry

Hello,

currently the apicur.io schema registry bundled with IBM Event Streams is open for write to all users. This is a potential problem since it allows all users that have access to that schema registry to potentially update schemas that are not their own. 

A typical issue example is an application that is accidentally set with the schema autoload at startup and is delivered with an obsolete/invalid version, that will update a schema and corrupt it for other services working on the impacted topic. 

We would like to have ACLs implemented in the schema registry to ensure that schemas can be created or updated by specific delivery users, and stay read-only for the other.

This update would be of great benefit to entities that require hardening and protection against malignant attempts to corrupt services, such as regulatory and banking services, and in general to any entity that seeks to prevent unwanted issues caused by uncontrolled changes on their platforms.

Thank you for considering this request if you can
