Strimzi: Unrestricted access to all Secrets within namespace watched by the Topic operator

Details

### Impact

When only the Topic or only the User operators are deployed as part of the Entity Operator in the `Kafka` custom resource, the RBAC rights are not following the principle of least-privilege and the Entity Operator ServiceAccount still has access rights corresponding to both operators. That might allow the ServiceAccount to access `KafkaUser` custom resources and Secrets when the User operator is not deployed and access `KafkaTopic` custom resources when the Topic operator is not deployed.

### Patches

The issue is fixed in Strimzi 1.0.1 and 1.1.0.
