Persist TLS certificate and key of antrea-controller (#5955)

In clusters where upgrade is performed with rolling update of Nodes and images of new versions are only available on new Nodes, the deployment strategy of antrea-controller is set to RollingUpdate to prevent antrea-controller Pod from being deleted immediately when the deployment is updated, leading to a period in which no antrea-controller is running. However, it also causes two instances of antrea-controller to run simultaneously in a short time, making it possible that the old instance overrides the CA bundle stored in antrea-ca ConfigMap, APIServices, and Webhooks, while the new instance won't update them again. The commit makes two changes to fix the problem: 1. CACertController will periodically sync the CA cert to improve the robustness. 2. Self-signed TLS certificate and key of antrea-controller will be stored in a Secret and will be reused after restarting controller. This makes running multiple antrea-controller instances simultaneously possible and makes restart of antrea-controller smoother as antrea-agents don't need to retrieve a new CA bundle most of the time. Besides, the change is helpful for implementing high-availability of antrea-controller in the future. Signed-off-by: Quan Tian <[email protected]>
