Export BaseControllerRefManager
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
It exports go struct `baseControllerRefManager`. This is needed so other distributions like OpenShift or TPR controllers can reuse that code for writing ref managers for other objects.
**Release note**:
It is not worthy of a release note.
