At a high level, it switches us to a distroless base container image, but that also includes several related bits:
- Add a writable /tmp but make the rest of our filesystems read-only at runtime.
- Condense our main server binaries into a single pinniped-server binary. This saves a bunch of space in
the image due to duplicated library code. The correct behavior is dispatched based on `os.Args[0]`, and
the `pinniped-server` binary is symlinked to `pinniped-concierge` and `pinniped-supervisor`.
- Strip debug symbols from our binaries. These aren't really useful in a distroless image anyway and all the
normal stuff you'd expect to work, such as stack traces, still does.
- Add a separate `pinniped-concierge-kube-cert-agent` binary with "sleep" and "print" functionality instead of
using builtin /bin/sleep and /bin/cat for the kube-cert-agent. This is split from the main server binary
because the loading/init time of the main server binary was too large for the tiny resource footprint we
established in our kube-cert-agent PodSpec. Using a separate binary eliminates this issue and the extra
binary adds only around 1.5MiB of image size.
- Switch the kube-cert-agent code to use a JSON `{"tls.crt": "<b64 cert>", "tls.key": "<b64 key>"}` format.
This is more robust to unexpected input formatting than the old code, which simply concatenated the files
with some extra newlines and split on whitespace.
- Update integration tests that made now-invalid assumptions about the `pinniped-server` image.

We were previously issuing both client certs and server certs with
both extended key usages included. Split the Issue*() methods into
separate methods for issuing server certs versus client certs so
they can have different extended key usages tailored for each use
case.
Also took the opportunity to clean up the parameters of the Issue*()
methods and New() methods to more closely match how we prefer to call
them. We were always only passing the common name part of the
pkix.Name to New(), so now the New() method just takes the common name
as a string. When making a server cert, we don't need to set the
deprecated common name field, so remove that param. When making a client
cert, we're always making it in the format expected by the Kube API
server, so just accept the username and group as parameters directly.
To make an impersonation request, first make a TokenCredentialRequest
to get a certificate. That cert will either be issued by the Kube
API server's CA or by a new CA specific to the impersonator. Either
way, you can then make a request to the impersonator and present
that client cert for auth and the impersonator will accept it and
make the impesonation call on your behalf.
The impersonator http handler now borrows some Kube library code
to handle request processing. This will allow us to more closely
mimic the behavior of a real API server, e.g. the client cert
auth will work exactly like the real API server.

This change adds a new virtual aggregated API that can be used by
any user to echo back who they are currently authenticated as. This
has general utility to end users and can be used in tests to
validate if authentication was successful.

- Watch a configmap to read the configuration of the impersonation
proxy and reconcile it.
- Implements "auto" mode by querying the API for control plane nodes.
- WIP: does not create a load balancer or proper TLS certificates yet.
Those will come in future commits.

When the Pinniped server has been installed with the `api_group_suffix`
option, for example using `mysuffix.com`, then clients who would like to
submit a `TokenCredentialRequest` to the server should set the
`Spec.Authenticator.APIGroup` field as `authentication.concierge.mysuffix.com`.
This makes more sense from the client's point of view than using the
default `authentication.concierge.pinniped.dev` because
`authentication.concierge.mysuffix.com` is the name of the API group
that they can observe their cluster and `authentication.concierge.pinniped.dev`
does not exist as an API group on their cluster.
This commit includes both the client and server-side changes to make
this work, as well as integration test updates.

This makes sure that if our clients ever send types with the wrong
group, the server will refuse to decode it.

Yes, this is a huge commit.
The middleware allows you to customize the API groups of all of the
*.pinniped.dev API groups.
Some notes about other small things in this commit:
- We removed the internal/client package in favor of pkg/conciergeclient. The
two packages do basically the same thing. I don't think we use the former
anymore.
- We re-enabled cluster-scoped owner assertions in the integration tests.
This code was added in internal/ownerref. See a0546942 for when this
assertion was removed.
- Note: the middlware code is in charge of restoring the GV of a request object,
so we should never need to write mutations that do that.
- We updated the supervisor secret generation to no longer manually set an owner
reference to the deployment since the middleware code now does this. I think we
still need some way to make an initial event for the secret generator
controller, which involves knowing the namespace and the name of the generated
secret, so I still wired the deployment through. We could use a namespace/name
tuple here, but I was lazy.

This reverts commit 4a28d1f800.
This commit was originally made to fix a bug that caused TokenCredentialRequest
to become slow when the server was idle for an extended period of time. This was
to address a Kubernetes issue that was fixed in 1.19.5 and onward. We are now
running with Kubernetes 1.20, so we should be able to pick up this fix.
This change updates our clients to always set an owner ref when:
1. The operation is a create
2. The object does not already have an owner ref set

I tried to follow a principle of encapsulation here - we can still default to
peeps making connections to 80/443 on a Service object, but internally we will
use 8080/8443.
