Migrate from deprecated methods and to new controllers..

[burmanm]

What is missing?

controller-runtime has been updated quite a lot since our last update and has following changes.

• admission.Validator is deprecated and replaced with CustomValidator. We need to move to that.
• ObjectReconciler is created, thus we can reduce the amount of boilerplate from our reconciler
• Verify if some bugged tests can be re-enabled
• "k8s.io/utils/pointer" is deprecated, use k8s.io/utils/ptr
• /metrics can be secured with TLS
• "sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/config/v1alpha1" is deprecated, remove and replace its usage
• We can allow pprof for easier debugging/profiling of cass-operator, check Manager.Options.PprofBindAddress
• Use reconcile.TerminalError(...) instead of just bailing out without error

Why is this needed?

controller-runtime is quite aggressive in removing deprecated methods and as such we need to keep up with the changes. Also, some of these are making our life easier.

Also, we need to move away from the controller-runtime YAML config as it was removed in 0.18.0.
