Interact with cluster configuration properties.

Cluster properties are Redpanda settings that apply to all brokers in the cluster.

Modified properties are propagated immediately to all brokers. Use the `status` subcommand to verify that all brokers are up to date and identify any settings which were rejected by a broker; for example, if the broker is running a different Redpanda version that does not recognize certain properties.
