- The CA cert will end up in the end user's kubeconfig on their client
machine, so if it changes they would need to fetch the new one and
update their kubeconfig. Therefore, we should avoid changing it as
much as possible.
- Now the controller writes the CA to a different Secret. It writes both
the cert and the key so it can reuse them to create more TLS
certificates in the future.
- For now, it only needs to make more TLS certificates if the old
TLS cert Secret gets deleted or updated to be invalid. This allows
for manual rotation of the TLS certs by simply deleting the Secret.
In the future, we may want to implement some kind of auto rotation.
- For now, rotation of both the CA and TLS certs will also happen if
you manually delete the CA Secret. However, this would cause the end
users to immediately need to get the new CA into their kubeconfig,
so this is not as elegant as a normal rotation flow where you would
have a window of time where you have more than one CA.
- Setting a Secret in the supervisor's namespace with a special name
will cause it to get picked up and served as the supervisor's TLS
cert for any request which does not have a matching SNI cert.
- This is especially useful for when there is no DNS record for an
issuer and the user will be accessing it via IP address. This
is not how we would expect it to be used in production, but it
might be useful for other cases.
- Includes a new integration test
- Also suppress all of the warnings about ignoring the error returned by
Close() in lines like `defer x.Close()` to make GoLand happier
This thing is supposed to be used to help our CredentialRequest handler issue certs with a dynamic
CA keypair.

So that operators won't look at the lifetime of the CA cert and be
like, "wtf, why does the serving cert have the lifetime that I
specified, but its CA cert is valid for 100 years".

- Controller and aggregated API server are allowed to run
- Keep retrying to borrow the cluster signing key in case the failure
to get it was caused by a transient failure
- The CredentialRequest endpoint will always return an authentication
failure as long as the cluster signing key cannot be borrowed
- Update which integration tests are skipped to reflect what should
and should not work based on the cluster's capability under this
new behavior
- Move CreateOrUpdateCredentialIssuerConfig() and related methods
to their own file
- Update the CredentialIssuerConfig's Status every time we try to
refresh the cluster signing key
We are seeing between 1 and 2 minutes of difference between the current time
reported in the API server pod and the pinniped pods on one of our testing
environments. Hopefully this change makes our tests pass again.

This switches us back to an approach where we use the Pod "exec" API to grab the keys we need, rather than forcing our code to run on the control plane node. It will help us fail gracefully (or dynamically switch to alternate implementations) when the cluster is not self-hosted.

- Add a unit test for each cert controller
- Make DynamicTLSServingCertProvider an interface and use a mutex
internally
- Create a shared ToPEM function instead of having two very similar
functions
- Move the ObservableWithInformerOption test helper to testutils
- Rename some variables and imports
The error was:
```
internal/certauthority/certauthority.go:68:15: err113: do not define dynamic errors, use wrapped static errors instead: "fmt.Errorf(\"expected CA to be a single certificate, found %d certificates\", certCount)" (goerr113)
return nil, fmt.Errorf("expected CA to be a single certificate, found %d certificates", certCount)
^
exit status 1
```
I'm not sure if I love this err113 linter.
I think we may still split this apart into multiple packages, but for now it works pretty well in both use cases.
