OCPVE-613: feat: switch to SSA for resource reconciliation

[jakobmoellerdev]

This is a sample implementation for SSA within lvm-operator and changes resource synchronization to no longer use Create/Update but use the k8s API Server for conflict resolution.

Open Issues:

• controller-runtime are still way behind on this topic and that Testing SSA with fake clients is not possible. Instead one has to create an interceptor: Support server-side apply (client.Apply) in fake Client kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime#2341 (comment) for more info
• Applyconfiguration generation is not auto included in controller-tools so that needs to be worked around through an apply with a version injection. Current issue is open in [WIP] ✨ Generation of typed apply clients using upstream generator kubernetes-sigs/controller-tools#818
• We will need a solid understanding of our Apply goals because without the above applyconfigurations we manually have to inject a GVK through the Prioritized Versions in our Scheme. Ideally this workaround is not necessary
• For Status Updates on live objects we will have to decide if we want to use a nil resourceVersion or if we want conflict recognition
• For Updates on live objects we will always manually need to nil out managedFields as SSA will fail with them included.

Closing due to too many open variables. Once a few more issues are closed and Applyconfiguration is available for kubebuilder based controllers I think we can give it another shot.
