TLSPolicy cannot be deleted if cert-manager is missing

TLSPolicy gets stuck on its finalizer while deleting if cert-manager is not installed

[philbrookes]

@pehala is the finalizer added by cert-manager or something else adds it expecting cert-manager to remove it?

Can you provide some steps to reproduce this?

Closing this, re-open with steps to reproduce if it's still an issue.

If cert-manager was never installed this should never be possible since, as the controller that adds the finalizer is never started.

If it happens after, cert-manager is removed after creating a Certificate, then that's a different issue that is likely cross component.
