CRD to watch a package repository

[vibhas]

Describe the problem/challenge you have
Package consumers currently need to discover and install one software at a time on a cluster. They should have a way to watch a particular package repository that contains multiple packages so that they can discover all the packages available to them and install the ones that they need.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Package consumers should be able to watch a repository using kapp-controller PackageRepository CR
• They should be able to view the status of a repository (Broken to a different issue Package repository doesnt have a status field #109)
• Once the package repository CR is deployed, all the packages in the repository should be available on the cluster
• They should be able to view the list of repositories that are being watched

Anything else you would like to add:

In progress on the dev-packaging branch. As of now, the CRD is called PackageRepository.

One thing that might need a bit more refinement is what a PackageRepository status should report for this requirement:

They should be able to view the status of a repository
