research_topics::create: bag 8 args into a NewTopic struct (fixes clippy)

The prior signature took (pool, workspace_id, title, description,
outcome_kind, topology_kind, repo_id, created_by) — 8 args, one
over the clippy::too_many_arguments ceiling and blocking CI.

Refactor to a NewTopic<'a> input struct mirroring the NewLoop /
NewSubTopology pattern the codebase already uses. Wizard-side
additions like a repo commit branch land as struct fields
instead of cascading into every call site.
