As a developer, I want  WMCO to use latest sdk-operator as base code. This keeps our code base close to latest and automatically picks up any critical issues that were addressed over a period of time. This will not have direct impact with end user use case but this will allow us to have latest sdk software in our component. 

Engineering Details

 Currently we are using sdk-operator 1.6.1  and the latest version is 1.12.1.  By going through fixes , I could see there 25+ bug fixes went in from 1.6.1 to 1.12.1

Link https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk/releases/ gives list of bugs that have been addressed in each releases. 

Acceptance Criteria

• There should not be any regressions as this is a pure version upgrade and no feature change is involved.
