Apiserver can not initialize watchcache when resources size too large.

[Sakuralbj]

What happened?

As default storageWatchListPageSize was set to 10000, when each resource size is large，the initial list of watchcache will exceed the maxSendBytes (2GB）and return the error

Cacher (configmaps): unexpected ListAndWatch error: failed to list *core.ConfigMap: rpc error: code = ResourceExhausted desc = grpc: message too large (5895956722 bytes); reinitializing...

What did you expect to happen?

Apiserver watchcache can initialize normally. （If storageWatchListPageSize can be flexibly configured ）

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

Create many large configmaps (size * num > 2GB，size<1MB，num<10000)，and restart kube-apiserver

Anything else we need to know?

I think the default storageWatchListPageSize should be user configurable for kube-apiserver

Yes, If we can configure it with adding a new command line argument or using environment variable cc @marseel @wojtek-t
