Refactor Status Updater to be resource agnostic (#1814)

Problem:
Currently, the status updater is aware of what resource it is updating
the status of. This makes it difficult to extend because for each new
resource we add support for, we have to modify the status updater.

Solution:

Replace old status updater with two new ones

(1) Regular Updater, to update statuses of multiple resources via
UpdateRequest type.

(2) LeaderAwareGroupUpdater to update statuses of groups of resources
and save any pending UpdateRequests until the updater is enabled
(when pod becomes leader). It uses Regular Updater.

Using groups allow replacing UpdateRequests of subset of resources,
without the need to recompute UpdateRequests for all resources.

The new status package is
resource agnostic. This is accomplished by representing status update
as a function (Setter).

Other updates:
- provisioner manager uses regular Updater.
- static manager uses LeaderAwareGroupUpdater (because it needs to
  support leader election)
- framework Status setter were simplified and moved to static/status
  package
- status related functions in static package were moved to
  static/status package.
- Previous Build* functions were replaced with PrepareRequests
  functions. Such functions don't create any intermediate status
  representation (like it was before), but create status UpdateRequests
  which directly set the resource statuses.
- static manager handler conditionally updates statuses GatewayClass
  based on manager configuration. Previously, the conditional logic was
  implemented in the Status Updater.
