Immutable fields with default values may now be changed iff they change is to populate their default value. This is to support defaulting in the scenario where an object was created long ago and a new field (with a default!) is added. When controllers attempt to mutate the object status today, this would create a webhook rejection! With this change, we compare against a freshly defaulted "old" object to exclude newly defaulted fields from the immutability check.
We saw this in knative/serving for the newly added TimeoutSeconds field in Revision (otherwise immutable), which I believe it leading to upgrade testing flakes since post-upgrade Revision status updates will fail.
* Change VerifyType to return an error instead of panicking
Signed-off-by: Vincent Demeester <vdemeest@redhat.com>
* Move the use of `VerifyType` in tests
Those calls to `duck.VerifyType` are done at runtime and thus could be
costly at program startup. Putting them under tests ensure we still
assert those types but during unit testing.

* Prune the GenericCRD spec to what is used.
Encapsulate our change detection slightly.
* Support common spec mutations via duck typing.
This adds support for performing common mutations to objects via duck types and JSON patching.
Fixes: https://github.com/knative/pkg/issues/76
* Eliminate getSpecJSON thru schemaless duck typing.
This leverages a one-off trick to get the JSON of the spec field from arbitrary types.
