[Federation] Segregate DNS related code to separate controller

**What this PR does / why we need it**:
This is the continuation of service controller re-factor work as outlined in #41253
This PR segregates DNS related code from service controller to another controller `service-dns controller` which manages the DNS records on the configured DNS provider.
`service-dns controller` monitors the federated services for the ingress annotations and create/update/delete DNS records accordingly.
`service-dns controller` can be optionally disabled and DNS record management could be done by third party components by monitoring the ingress annotations on federated services. (This would enable something like federation middleware for CoreDNS where federation api server could be used as a backend to CoreDNS eliminating the need for etcd storage.)

**Special notes for your reviewer**:

**Release note**:
```
Federation: A new controller for managing DNS records is introduced which can be optionally disabled to enable third party components to manage DNS records for federated services.
```

Cluster Federation

Kubernetes Cluster Federation enables users to federate multiple Kubernetes clusters. Please see the user guide and the admin guide for more details about setting up and using the Cluster Federation.

Building Kubernetes Cluster Federation

Please see the Kubernetes Development Guide for initial setup. Once you have the development environment setup as explained in that guide, you also need to install jq

Building cluster federation artifacts should be as simple as running:

make build

You can specify the docker registry to tag the image using the KUBE_REGISTRY environment variable. Please make sure that you use the same value in all the subsequent commands.

To push the built docker images to the registry, run:

make push

To initialize the deployment run:

(This pulls the installer images)

make init

To deploy the clusters and install the federation components, edit the ${KUBE_ROOT}/_output/federation/config.json file to describe your clusters and run:

make deploy

To turn down the federation components and tear down the clusters run:

make destroy

Ideas for improvement

  1. Continue with destroy phase even in the face of errors.

    The bash script sets set -e errexit which causes the script to exit at the very first error. This should be the default mode for deploying components but not for destroying/cleanup.
