Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Changefeeds can oftentimes run into problems with external systems (network connectivity, brokers opening/closing, etc.) that can cause failure or loss of performance. When this happens it can cause a disruption in service, plus it is hard to debug the source of failure. We should give users the tools to head these problems off early by giving them visibility into the health of their changefeed connection. We should also give SREs the tools to diagnose these problems better.

Describe the solution you'd like
There are several options that have been thrown around here: perhaps a "changefeed ping" that verifies the connectivity to a kafka cluster or cloud sink. We could also surface metrics on network/sink health in the admin console.

Jira issue: CRDB-3195

Are we thinking something that would feel like a call to an embedded kcat/kafkacat and show the results?

FYI...this would be particularly helpful in cloud-based deployments (Dedicated/Serverless)
