The `make` rules which auto-generate some of our API stuff are
incredibly baroque, and hard to maintain. They were originally added on
the assumption that we would stop checking generated files into git.
Since then we have moved away from that goal, and the worst problems
with generated files have been resolved.
Reasons to kill this:
* It is slow on every build, as opposed to just being slow when running
the generators. It is even slow to calculate that there's nothing to
update.
* Most development work doesn't involve changing APIs.
* It only covers about half (or less) of the generated code, and making
it cover more would be even slower.
* Approximately 1 person knows how this all works.
* We have CI to make sure changes do not get merged without updating
this code.
* We have corner cases where this does the WRONG thing and tracking
those down is ugly and hard in perpetuity.
So this commit puts all the same logic that WAS in the
Makefile.generated_files into update-codegen.sh.
I do not love this script, especially WRT sub-packages, but I am trying
not to boil the ocean. I hope to follow up with some more cleanups over
time.
I have tested this manually and with the scripts and it still seems to
catch errors properly.
This includes a change to kube::util::read-array to make it not unset
variables and not over-write non-array variables.

Tweak client-gen to support metrics API
This PR adds support to client-gen for readonly APIs as well as for customizing the resource name used for a given type.
This is required to support the clients generated for `k8s.io/metrics/pkg/apis/metrics`.
cc @caesarxuchao
Currently based on #45180
**Release note**:
```release-note
NONE
```
This commit turns on client-gen for k8s.io/metrics. Clients are
generated for `k8s.io/metrics/pkg/apis/metrics` (both internal and
v1alpha1). `k8s.io/metrics/pkg/apis/custom_metrics` uses a bespoke
client due to the unique nature of its paths.
