Change in_kubernetes_events plugin to watch kubernetes events after requesting the event list. Instead of polling for the full event list every 500ms (default), an initial full events list is requested and then is a watch is requested. The watch will create an efficient http chunked stream that will push events as they are added, modified, or deleted from the cluster. The interval_sec and interval_nsec plugin config options now act as a reconnect timer if the watch stream is ended, instead of timer to re-poll the k8s cluster.

Potentially Breaking: this will require the kubernetes role used by fluent-bit to have watch permission in addition to the current list and get permissions.

Fixes #8315

Leaving in draft as this is dependent on both #8316 & #8323, will rebase and move out of draft after those are reviewed/merged.

@edsiper - just force pushed a new version of this. I still have this PR draft mode because it was branched off of 2 other PRs: #8316 & #8323. I was assuming it would be easier to review those each individually and then I'd rebase this one with a smaller set of changes to review, but if you'd prefer to just do them all in one change PR review/merge, I can move this pr to ready to review.

@pwhelan @edsiper @lecaros - this fell out of the next milestone with the last few 3.0 releases but is still ready to go. Can this be added to the existing 3.0.7 milestone? Thank you

Potentially breaking change as it now requires the
rbac used by fluent-bit to have 'watch'.

Uses a k8s watch instead of http api polling to
stream k8s events from the kube api server

Rebased to fix merge conflict.

@edsiper @pwhelan @lecaros could this be tagged in the 3.1.0 milestone so it does not get missed? Thank you!

We probably should update docs as well, particularly with the RBAC change. Could you link a docs PR @ryanohnemus ?

Do we have any int tests for this btw?

No int tests, but I added unit tests for the plugin in this PR.
