DeletionTimestamp and Finalizer support in Mock server

[scrocquesel]

Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe

I'm writing an operator and would like to test how it behaves when deleting a resource. In CRUD mode, when a resource is deleted, it is remove even if finalizers is not empty.

Describe the solution you'd like

I expect delete to update the resource with a deletionTimestamp if finalizers collection is not empty. When the operator will remove its finalizer and update the CR, if the finalizers collection is empty, the resource should be deleted.

I should be able to wait for the resource to be deleted (wait while get CR is not null) and assert the operator does its cleanup job.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I tried to update the resource with edit to set a deletionTimestamp but is seems to be not saved.

client.resources(CRD.class).inNamespace("foo").withName("bar").edit(p -> {
    p.getMetadata().setDeletionTimestamp("2022-02-06T14:21:44.719489Z");
    return p;
});

what works is to replace the CR.

var cr = client.resources(CRD.class).inNamespace("foo").withName("bar").get();
cr.getMetadata().setDeletionTimestamp("2022-02-06T14:21:44.719489Z");
client.resource(cr).createOrReplace();

+1 on this, I was just writing a test and was surprised that my CR with a finalizer had actually been deleted
