State of the topic or queue.
Applies to the most granular resource.
If subscription isspecified we remove it.
If only topic is specified, that is what is removed.
NOTE - A topic can be removed without first removing the subscription.
subscription

Dictionary containing a subscription name associated with a topic (required), along with optional ack_deadline, push_endpoint and pull. For pulling from a subscription, message_ack (bool), max_messages (int) and return_immediate are available as subfields. See subfields name, push_endpoint and ack_deadline for more information.
