The main purpose of this change is to update the e2e Netpol tests to use
the srandard CreateNamespace function from the Framework. Before this
change, a custom Namespace creation function was used, with the
following consequences:
* Pod security admission settings had to be enforced locally (not using
the centralized mechanism)
* the custom function was brittle, not waiting for default Namespace
ServiceAccount creation, causing tests to fail in some infrastructures
* tests were not benefiting from standard framework capabilities:
Namespace name generation, automatic Namespace deletion, etc.
As part of this change, we also do the following:
* clearly decouple responsibilities between the Model, which defines the
K8s objects to be created, and the KubeManager, which has access to
runtime information (actual Namespace names after their creation by
the framework, Service IPs, etc.)
* simplify / clean-up tests and remove as much unneeded logic / funtions
as possible for easier long-term maintenance
* remove the useFixedNamespaces compile-time constant switch, which
aimed at re-using existing K8s resources across test cases. The
reasons: a) it is currently broken as setting it to true causes most
tests to panic on the master branch, b) it is not a good idea to have
some switch like this which changes the behavior of the tests and is
never exercised in CI, c) it cannot possibly work as different test
cases have different Model requirements (e.g., the protocols list can
differ) and hence different K8s resource requirements.
