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.

This change updates the impersonation proxy code to run as a
distinct service account that only has permission to impersonate
identities. Thus any future vulnerability that causes the
impersonation headers to be dropped will fail closed instead of
escalating to the concierge's default service account which has
significantly more permissions.

This typo wasn't caught in testing because 1) the Kubernetes API ignores the unknown field and 2) the `type` field defaults to `LoadBalancer` anyway, so things behave as expected.
Even though this doesn't cause any large problems, it's quite confusing.

Previously, our controllers would automatically create a CredentialIssuer with a singleton name. The helpers we had for this also used "raw" client access and did not take advantage of the informer cache pattern.
With this change, the CredentialIssuer is always created at install time in the ytt YAML. The controllers now only update the existing CredentialIssuer status, and they do so using the informer cache as much as possible.
This change is targeted at only the kubecertagent controller to start. The impersonatorconfig controller will be updated in a following PR along with other changes.

Followup on the previous comment to split apart the ServiceAccount of the kube-cert-agent and the main concierge pod. This is a bit cleaner and ensures that in testing our main Concierge pod never requires any privileged permissions.

Since 0dfb3e95c5, we no longer directly create the kube-cert-agent Pod, so our "use"
permission on PodSecurityPolicies no longer has the intended effect. Since the deployments controller is now the
one creating pods for us, we need to get the permission on the PodSpec of the target pod instead, which we do somewhat
simply by using the same service account as the main Concierge pods.
We still set `automountServiceAccountToken: false`, so this should not actually give any useful permissions to the
agent pod when running.

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.

Previously, when triggering a Tilt reload via a *.go file change, a reload would
take ~13 seconds and we would see this error message in the Tilt logs for each
component.
Live Update failed with unexpected error:
command terminated with exit code 2
Falling back to a full image build + deploy
Now, Tilt should reload images a lot faster (~3 seconds) since we are running
the images as root.
Note! Reloading the Concierge component still takes ~13 seconds because there
are 2 containers running in the Concierge namespace that use the Concierge
image: the main Concierge app and the kube cert agent pod. Tilt can't live
reload both of these at once, so the reload takes longer and we see this error
message.
Will not perform Live Update because:
Error retrieving container info: can only get container info for a single pod; image target image:image/concierge has 2 pods
Falling back to a full image build + deploy

This change updates our clients to always set an owner ref when:

This is the beginning of a change to add cpu/memory limits to our pods.
We are doing this because some consumers require this, and it is generally
a good practice.
The limits == requests for "Guaranteed" QoS.

I tried to follow a principle of encapsulation here - we can still default to

- New optional ytt value called `into_namespace` means install into that
preexisting namespace rather than creating a new namespace for each app
- Also ensure that every resource that is created statically by our yaml
at install-time by either app is labeled consistently
- Also support adding custom labels to all of those resources from a
new ytt value called `custom_labels`
