HPA: only send updates when the status has changed
This commit only sends updates if the status has actually changed.
Since the HPA runs at a regular interval, this should reduce the volume
of writes, especially on short HPA intervals with relatively constant
metrics.
Fixes#47077
**Release note**:
```release-note
The HorizontalPodAutoscaler controller will now only send updates when it has new status information, reducing the number of writes caused by the controller.
