Description of problem

The cluster-dns-operator repository vendors k8s.io/* v0.28.3 and controller-runtime v0.16.3. OpenShift 4.16 is based on Kubernetes 1.29.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable)

4.16.

How reproducible

Always.

Steps to Reproduce

Check https://github.com/openshift/cluster-dns-operator/blob/release-4.16/go.mod.

Actual results

The k8s.io/* packages are at v0.28.3, and the sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime package is at v0.16.3.

Expected results

The k8s.io/* packages are at v0.29.0 or newer, and the sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime package is at v0.17.0 or newer.

Additional info

The controller-runtime v0.17 release includes some breaking changes, such as the removal of apiutil.NewDiscoveryRESTMapper; see the release notes at https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime/releases/tag/v0.17.0. The k8s.io/api v0.29 release drops flowcontrol/v1alpha1, which means we also need to bump openshift/api in order to get https://github.com/openshift/api/pull/1647. https://github.com/openshift/cluster-dns-operator/pull/394 will include a openshift/api bump that includes the removal of flowcontrol/v1alpha1 from openshift/api, so better to merge #394 first, and then bump k8s.io/api and controller-runtime after that.
