Add CI coverage for client-go and staging/copy.sh
Client-go master and `staging/copy.sh` keep breaking, leading to frustration of users outside of the inner refactoring circle. This PR adds minimal smoke testing for both.
**Note**: this enforces the split of PRs which change apimachinery and client-go in parallel (via some local "temporary commit" hacking).
