current scale. Two important ones are when missing metrics might
change the direction of scaling, and when the recommended scale is
within tolerance of the current scale.
The way that ReplicaCalculator signals it's desire to not change the
current scale is by returning the current scale. However the current
scale is from scale.Status.Replicas and can be larger than
scale.Spec.Replicas (e.g. during Deployment rollout with configured
surge). This causes a positive feedback loop because
scale.Status.Replicas is written back into scale.Spec.Replicas,
further increasing the current scale.
This PR fixes the feedback loop by plumbing the replica count from
spec through horizontal.go and replica_calculator.go so the calculator
can punt with the right value.
