validateClusterInfo: use clientcmdapi.NewCluster()

Change validateClusterInfo to use clientcmdapi.NewCluster() instead of
clientcmdapi.Cluster{} when comparing against the passed in clusterInfo.
clusterInfo most likely will be a combination of
clientcmdapi.NewCluster() merged with potential overrides. This is
necessary because otherwise, the DeepEqual between what is supposed to
be an empty Cluster and clusterInfo will fail, resulting in an error
that doesn't allow fall-through to checking for in-cluster
configuration.
