Provide pulumi operator as embeddable library

[eljoth]

Proposed changes

This PR wants to add the functionality to provide the pulumi operator as a library to be used in pulumi programs. It offers a custom component resource containing all dependencies for the operator including the deployment of it and provides pulumi bindings for the stack crd.

Thanks @eljoth the the PR!

This is a great idea to add these SDKs.

Am I correct in assuming these were created with crd2pulumi?

A few high-level notes:

1. We should include Makefile build steps that recreate these SDKs
2. We should include publishing for these SDKs to the various package managers (@stack72 might be able to help with this)
3. Depending on how we're going to publish this - that might inform what namespace this actually belongs in. Currently it appears to be in a top-level pulumi namespace - which likely won't work?
4. I wonder if it might make sense to add this to https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-kubernetes-crds instead of homing/publishing it here?
5. Would be great to add a note on these to the README.
6. It would be great to add an example of using this e2e - deploying the operator and then managing a Stack using these SDKs, all within Pulumi!

@lukehoban yes, all of them were created with crd2pulumi. In addition, I implemented the role, rolebinding and deployment by hand.

I will continue in the next few days to update the makefile and other files and publish the SDKs to the package managers. Regarding the publishing I would of course appreciate any help!
As of what I've seen in pulumi-kubernetes-crds, the sources "only" seem to provide the CRDs but not a way to actually deploy the operator itself. I don't know whether it was a better choice to keep it all together here or to split things up.

Yes - I believe that is right - and I agree that it is nice to keep it together. Ideally the operators in pulumi-kubernetes-crds would also include the Pulumi resources needed to deploy the operators themselves. But for now - makes sense to me to keep there here.
