Address common questions/needs regards to not create/use the ns scaffolded by the tool

[camilamacedo86]

What do you want to happen?

This issue was raised for we find the best way to address the common questions and requests:

• How to deploy the operator in another NS? How to not let the tool create a new ns for my operator?
• I'd like to run make deploy and get the project deployed in a specific namespaced informed instead of creating a new one.
• I'd like the tool to help me to use a pre-existent namespace instead of creating a new one specifically for the operator.

Possible Solution

• Add a flag option to the init command to define if the specific ns should or not be created to the project
• Store this flag in the PROJECT file
• And then, we might be able to use the EditPlugin to provide a feature to change the scaffolds to use the ns specified and no longer create the new ns by having an attribute in the PROJECT file.

Also, another option can be able to address these common requests via docs by explaining how users can customize their project to achieve it. See that we can cd config/default/ && kustomize edit set namespace "memcached-operator" && cd ../.. to deploy the project in another ns. However, I think it will create a new ns.

PS.: I already so this questions in the SDK issues as well and it came in as a result of a survey.
