Story (Required)

The purpose of this story is to implement the new dex package. We need it because it will bring the dex code into alignment with the described operator redesign. This story will represent the end-to-end effort involved in writing the dex package, including unit tests and kuttl tests (potentially)

Background (Required)

The idea behind this story is to create a self-contained sub-controller package for dex, that can be developed independently of the rest of the operator codebase. This includes consolidating all constants, helper functions, reconciliation functions etc that act upon dex resources into this package. This firmly establishes a clear responsibility on this package, and makes it the one that issues all commands on dex resources. This establishes clear input/output expectations from this package and allows for comprehensive testing. 
The dex package will be nested under the sso package

Approach (Required)

• set-up dex sub-controller with apt sso-controller log context
• consolidate helper functions related to controller resources into appropriate util.go/resource file
• create dedicated constants.go file for controller constants
• identify list of all resources this controller needs to manage
• implement reconciliation functions for all concerned controller resources
• create separate function to trigger deletion of all resources (if required)
• Write unit tests for all functions 
• Write controller specific kuttl tests if applicable and place under test/controller/sso

Use best practices outlined in design doc to make error handling & logging decisions
