remove unnessary kubectl conversions
Working with unstructured types means that conversion can be eliminated. This pulls it from places I noticed.

stop using Info.Mappings when they may not be present
On a resource builder, you cannot logically have a RESTMapping or a Client if you're running a local action. Reliance on the `info.Client` and `info.Mapping` is a bug we need to fix. This updates the docs and eliminates unnecessary reliance. Other hits I found didn't have `--local` options, so we're safe or had them and and were already broken. I think we'll be able to help them after making our creation flow obvious.

divide statically known typer from dynamically derived restmapper
The CLI factory conflated a statically known typer and a dynamically derived restmapper. This produced confusion and unnecessary indirection. This pull separates dynamically known from statically known.
A future pull will continue the separation of in the builder to indicate the points of variability for clients, which should logically be limited to a negotiated serializer for decoding and an object typer.

stop duplicating preferred version order
`GroupMeta` includes two fields for a preferred groupVersion, `.GroupVersion` and `.GroupVersion[0]`. This collapses onto the latter.

make describers more generic from the CLI
I've made this change very small so the intent and explanation make sense to people.
Clients are not generic. Client**Configs** are generic. We faced this distinction in the apiserver and it took us a little to hurdle it. When you try to provide a generic example or function, you need to provide Client**Config**, not a kube clientset. The reason is that the code you're calling may have generated their own clientset, may want to use a dynamic one, or may want to a simple restclient. As we seek to make `kubectl` primitives more generally applicable, this is an example we'll want to follow. I suspect we'll be making more changes along these veins as we tease out the generic pieces of `kubectl ` to make a friendly CLI library.

eliminate indirection from type registration
Some years back there was a partial attempt to revamp api type registration, but the effort was never completed and this was before we started splitting schemes. With separate schemes, the idea of partial registration no longer makes sense. This pull starts removing cruft from the registration process and pulls out a layer of indirection that isn't needed.

provide standard iostream struct for commands
Commands usually need some kind of iostream. For consistency, delegation, and testability this pull introduces a standard struct to embed in every set of command options. It also starts the plumbing so that the benefits of standardization for all three of those cases become clear.

simplify the client cache
We created the client cache back when we negotiated versions to create a config and a client. Now we don't, so this is just debt. This removes all the obvious places. I'll open a separate WIP to try to kill the rest.

use recordFlags to manage recording
This updates the set commands to use the recordflags and updates the commands we're touching to follow the pattern that is emerging. A method for New*Options, a valid default value for a recorder there, using the value `o` everywhere to refer to options, naming the struct `<commandName>Options`.

kubectl stops rendering List as suffix kind name for CRD resources
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
`List` should not be treated as suffix when validating CRD objects.
Removing this validation won't break anything.
**Which issue(s) this PR fixes** *(optional, in `fixes #<issue number>(, fixes #<issue_number>, ...)` format, will close the issue(s) when PR gets merged)*:
Fixes#62410

fix up and use record flags
This pull starts a genericclioptions package with a dependency enforcer to ensure that we have no kube/kube links. It makes the recordflags nil-able and still behave as expected. And it also updates several commands to use the record flags.

allow higher burst for discovery
Discovery makes a lot of consecutive (maybe someday parallel) calls. One for every group and another for every version. Add a few CRDs and it's pretty easy to get to 50 calls.
This targets the burst on kubectl's discovery client only.
