Support discovery cache or up both QPS/BurstQPS

[chobostar]

Dear, maintainers! Thanks for your awesome tool! I would like to improve overall experience of tkn usage and bring to you a case.

We use crossplane in our cluster, so we end up with tons of CRDs:

$ kubectl get crds | wc -l
477

this causes extremely slow tkn actions:

$ time tkn task start --showlog hello 
I0711 10:15:46.560753 2690678 request.go:665] Waited for 1.196588288s due to client-side throttling, not priority and fairness, request: GET:https://api-server.example.com:6443/apis/azure.crossplane.io/v1alpha3

Error: Task name hello does not exist in namespace default

here is similar discussion - https://github.com/kubernetes/kubectl/issues/1126 here is solution for kubectl - https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105520

As I debugged, tkn don't use cache:

$ strace -f -e trace=file tkn task start --showlog hello 2>&1 | grep 'kube/cache' | wc -l
0

how kubectl uses cache:

$ strace -f -e trace=file kubectl get pods 2>&1 | grep '.kube/cache' | head
[pid 2691748] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/user/.kube/cache/discovery/api_server.example.com/servergroups.json", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 6
[pid 2691748] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/user/.kube/cache/discovery/api_server.example.com/metrics.k8s.io/v1beta1/serverresources.json", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 6
[pid 2691746] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/user/.kube/cache/discovery/api_server.example.com/notificationchannel.example.com/v1alpha1/serverresources.json", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 7

The second. As I see here tkn supported QPS=5 - https://github.com/tektoncd/cli/issues/1506 Unfortunately, It's not enough for clusters with hundreds and thousands CRDs, and users still end up with slow actions.

Thanks for reading!

Feature request

1. Ability to use local cache
2. Raise up QPS and support BurstQPS during discovery.

Use case

Speed up tkn actions.

@chobostar we have increased the QPS and Burst same as kubectl, is it working fine now?

Before:

$ tkn version
Client version: 0.24.0
...

$ time tkn task start --showlog hello

After:

$ ./tkn version

$ time ./tkn task start --showlog hello
Error: Task name hello does not exist in namespace default

Thanks guys! Now it's much much better!
