Control Plane Drops Link Cost Updates

[c-kruse]

Describe the bug Found exploring workarounds for https://github.com/skupperproject/skupper/issues/2055

When a link CR is updated with a new Cost the controller updates the router configuration, but the update is ignored by the router pod (kube-adaptor specifically.) In order to make link cost a user-updatable field, kube-adaptor will need to build in smarts to delete and recreate a io.skupper.router.connector.

How To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• link two skupper sites
• Update the link CR with a new cost
• See the router configuration not change (reflected in site network status and in console.)

Expected behavior A brief interruption occurs while the connector is recreated with the updated link cost.

Environment details

• Skupper Operator 2.0.0
• Platform: kube

@ssorj @ajssmith @grs - double checking that this is what we intended.

Yes, I agree, kube adapator will need to be modified to detect and handle the change in cost.
