Unable to use API machinery conversion APIs for AWSMachineProviderStatus and AWSClusterProviderStatus

[ashish-amarnath]

/kind feature

Describe the solution you'd like
[A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.]
It should be possible to use api-machinery APIs to convert the status to RawExtentions
https://godoc.org/k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/runtime#Convert_runtime_Object_To_runtime_RawExtension

Anything else you would like to add:
[Miscellaneous information that will assist in solving the issue.]
Using this API, fails to compile like:

cannot use status (type *AWSMachineProviderStatus) as type *runtime.Object in argument to runtime.Convert_runtime_Object_To_runtime_RawExtension

and

cannot use status (type *AWSClusterProviderStatus) as type *runtime.Object in argument to runtime.Convert_runtime_Object_To_runtime_RawExtension

Environment:

• Cluster-api-provider-aws version:
• Kubernetes version: (use kubectl version):
• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release):
