Generate Kubernetes style api objects

[benmathews]

I would like to interact with the RabbitMQ CRDs via Kubernetes style api objects.

This would require running [kube_codegen.sh] against the type definitions.

Can you elaborate on this? What does this enable you to do?
Also, can you submit a PR for the change you would like to see?

I would like to interact with the RabbitMQ CRDs as described in this blog post and this associated code repo. It would allow something like

rabbitClient, _ := clientset.NewForConfig(config)
rabbits, err := rabbitClient.RabbitMQ().Rabbits(*namespace).List(context.Background(), metav1.ListOptions{})

Once I have the RabbitMQ configuration, I can generate configuration for my applications that use RabbitMQ. Currently we are hand configuring it. I'd like to automate that burden.

At the time, I don't think my company has the motivation to implement this themselves.

We never intended for this Operator to be consumed as a library. In fact, we bump the go and the toolchain directives assuming this is an application, not a library. I know there are some projects out there that consume this project as a Go library, and we try to not break them, or at least not very often.

The proposed change could be beneficial for this operator to make the code more readable, in addition to the automation benefit mentioned.

If anybody wants to contribute this change, it would be most welcome. For our very small team, a cosmetic change like this sits at a low priority.
