Bump K8s dependencies to 1.28

[varshaprasad96]

What do you want to happen?

Creating this issue to track the bumping of K8s dependencies to 1.28.

Controller-runtime (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime/releases/tag/v0.16.0) and controller-tools (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/controller-tools/releases/tag/v0.13.0) have released a version with 1.28 releases of k8s dependencies.

Things to do:

• Bump deps in Kubebuilder binary
• Bump reps in all the plugins
• Bump deps in KB declarative pattern (the PR to deprecate and remove it is still in progress)

Refer to #3444 to know how it was done for k8s 1.27 bumps.

Just to provide further info:

To bump to use Kubernetes version 1.28 we need to:

• Generate the envtools for it (it is done)

The build is made from the branch tools-releases. So, we need to create a PR to generate tools with the latest binaries version

• bump controller-tools for a version using the k8s 1.28 -
• the declarative plugin usually also needs to be updated: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/master/pkg/plugins/golang/declarative/v1/api.go#L35 (we usually contribute with the project to ensure that is bumped to use the latest k8s version)
• bump controller-runtime latest release using k8s 1.28 : ✨ upgrade to k8s 0.27.1 controller-runtime#2189
• Update kubebuilder CLI to use the k8s 1.28
• Update the CI for we begin to test against k8s 1.28, see: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#where-the-ci-tests-are-configured
