Fix segfault with describe_topics and flaky connection (confluentinc#1692)

lpsinger · web-flow · commit 5c4a6523bac0 · 2024-05-07T16:44:32.000+05:30
If you call describe_topics on a flaky connection, sometimes the
admin client reply has the host set to a null pointer. When this
occurs, instead of segfaulting, report the host as None.
