Cloud provider for KIND clusters

sig-testing

Please provide references to appropriate approval for this new repo

KIND has demonstrated to be a very versatile, efficient, cheap and very useful tool for Kubernetes testing.
However, KIND doesn't offer capabilities for testing all the features that depend on cloud-providers, causing a gap on testing.

cloud-provider-kind aim to fill this gap and provide an agnostic and cheap solution for all the Kubernetes features that depend on a cloud-provider using KIND

Request in KIND: kubernetes-sigs/kind#3086
KEP-3705: Cloud Dual-Stack --node-ip Handling : kubernetes/enhancements#3706 (comment)
Request from sig/cloud-provider for e2e test: kubernetes/kubernetes#73794
Demo SIG-Network 20230216: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P8CzPBTuyE&list=PL69nYSiGNLP2E8vmnqo5MwPOY25sDWIxb&index=2

Additional context for request

We've considered to add it as part of the KIND repo but there are two major problems, cloud-provider-kind has much more golang dependencies that will add a penalty to kind and the lifecycle will be different.
