make kubectl generic commands work with unstructured objects
part of making apply, edit, label, annotate, and patch work with third party resources
fixes#35149fixes#34413
prereq of:
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/35496https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40096
related to:
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/39906https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/40119
kubectl is currently decoding any resource it doesn't have compiled-in to a ThirdPartyResourceData struct, which means it computes patches using that struct, and would try to send a ThirdPartyResourceData object to the API server when running `apply`
This PR removes the behavior that decodes unknown objects into ThirdPartyResourceData structs internally, and fixes up the following generic commands to work with unstructured objects
- [x] apply
- [x] decode into runtime.Unstructured objects
- [x] successfully use `--record` with unregistered objects
- [x] patch
- [x] decode into runtime.Unstructured objects
- [x] successfully use `--record` with unregistered objects
- [x] describe
- [x] decode into runtime.Unstructured objects
- [x] implement generic describer
- [x] fix other generic kubectl commands to work with unstructured objects
- [x] label
- [x] annotate
follow-ups for pre-existing issues:
- [ ] `explain` doesn't work with unregistered resources
- [ ] remove special casing of federation group in clientset lookups, etc
- [ ] `patch`
- [ ] doesn't honor output formats when persisting to server (`kubectl patch -f svc.json --type merge -p '{}' -o json` doesn't output json)
- [ ] --local throws exception (`kubectl patch -f svc.json --type merge -p '{}' --local`)
- [ ] `apply`
- [ ] fall back to generic JSON patch computation if no go struct is registered for the target GVK (e.g. https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40096)
- [ ] ensure subkey deletion works in CreateThreeWayJSONMergePatch
- [ ] ensure type stomping works in CreateThreeWayJSONMergePatch
- [ ] lots of tests for generic json patch computation
- [ ] prevent generic apply patch computation among different versions
- [ ] reconcile treatment of nulls with https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/35496
- [ ] `edit`
- [ ] decode into runtime.Unstructured objects
- [ ] fall back to generic JSON patch computation if no go struct is registered for the target GVK
