⚠ Generate Embedded ObjectMeta in the CRDs #539

This PR makes it so embedded ObjectMeta in the CRD get's properly generated if the generator option generateEmbeddedObjectMeta=true is passed, this is needed because if a CRD has embedded ObjectMeta in any field and preserveUnknowFields is set to false, all the metadata will be lost when doing conversion between versions.

An example on how to have the embedded ObjectMeta generated in the resulting CRD

controller-gen crd:maxDescLen=0,generateEmbeddedObjectMeta=true paths=. output:dir=.

This PR makes it so by default any embedded ObjectMeta is not generated in the resulting CRD, however the top level ObjectMeta belonging to the CRD itself is never generated as the kubernetes API disallows changes to the CRD metadata between conversions.

The generated ObjectMeta is also only a subset of the original set of fields inside ObjectMeta this is due to the fact that other runtime fields are problematic if they are being traded with the kubernetes API, such as creationTimeStamp (rancher/rancher#23857) so this only generates name, namespace, labels, annotations and finalizers which from a design perspective should be enough. This follows the recommendation by @sttts who recommended a EmbeddedObjectMeta but instead of using a different type, we have a reduced set of fields that are "just enough" for a CRD design.

An example of why we need this is for example if a CRD had a volumeClaimTemplate (for an underlying statefulset) which include ObjectMeta such as Labels, Annotations and/org name which are meant to be passed to the PVC where getting lost between conversions.

This PR is based on the work by @arjunrn and @champak following the discussion on #448 and the PR #498 and it's also similar to #395 as it addressed the same problem, but adds the type casting for FieldsV1 and the requested argument to control this feature (per @DirectXMan12 on #395)

really minor comment as per the meeting today, otherwise looks good

if f, ok := KnownPackages["k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/apis/meta/v1"]; ok {
f(p, pkg)
}
// This is a allow-listed set of properties of ObjectMeta, other runtime properties are not part of this list
