Allow for the adoption of existing resources

What problem are you facing?

I'd like to adopt existing resources that I have already created in DigitalOcean. I'd also like the control to tell Crossplane to not manage it but just read the information about it/publish connection details.

How could Crossplane help solve your problem?

We can pull the resource ID from the external-name annotation, and attempt to fetch the resource instead of creating it. We can then also add a readonly field to the resource specs and if specified then we will not create/update/delete the resource but instead just observe.

I'm going to split this up per resource so it's not just one giant change.
