Deduplicate RC/RS controller code.
The code was already 99% similar between RC and RS. This is a wild idea to try to deduplicate the two controllers in a type-safe manner without adding tons of boilerplate, and without using code generation.
They are still separate resources and separate worker pools. This is a refactor that isn't intended to change any behavior.
```release-note
ReplicationController now shares its underlying controller implementation with ReplicaSet to reduce the maintenance burden going forward. However, they are still separate resources and there should be no externally visible effects from this change.

Prevent too-large replicas from generating enormous numbers
of events by creating only a few pods at a time, then increasing
the batch size when pod creations succeed. Stop creating batches
of pods when any pod creation errors are encountered.

We were comparing the address of the old and new RC.spec.replicas and we
have to compare the values. This only affects logging.
Update RS controller to match RC controller to log when spec.replicas
changes, not status.replicas.
