Create a new plugin OR a new project with config-gen option

[camilamacedo86]

What do you want to happen?

The idea of this issue would be to create a new plugin () following the Kubebuilder approach OR a new project like KubeGen using the alpha option config-gen available up to 3.7.0 release, see: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/tree/v3.7.0/pkg/cli/alpha/config-gen

To create a plugin

One of the options would be we have config-gen as an optional plugin. In this case, config-gen would be used to replace the customised plugin scaffold by default which is responsible for generating the config directory. See:

• The docs: https://book.kubebuilder.io/plugins/plugins.html
• The directory with all available plugins: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/tree/v3.7.0/pkg/plugins
• Some initial PRs where this work started but was not finalized: ✨ add new plugin go-config-gen/v1 #2099 and ✨ New plugin for config-gen as alpha. #2540

To create a new project
Then, the idea would to be use Kubebuilder as a LIB such as Operator-SDK uses it and then have a project/CLI that will just work with this option. That is mainly the Kubebuilder implementation for the CLI with only the old alpha option config-gen used by default. We would copy all content under https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/tree/v3.7.0/pkg/cli/alpha/config-gen to ensure the default implementation.

After this repo is done we could be looking for to donate it to kubernetes-sig.
