Description of problem

The cluster-ingress-operator repository vendors controller-runtime v0.16.3, which uses Kubernetes 1.28 packages. 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-ingress-operator/blob/release-4.16/go.mod.

Actual results

The sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime package is at v0.16.3.

Expected results

The sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime package is at v0.17.0 or newer.

Additional info

https://github.com/openshift/cluster-ingress-operator/pull/1016 already bumped the k8s.io/* packages to v0.29.0, but ideally the controller-runtime package should be bumped too. 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.
