K8SSAND-891 ⁃ Add support for deploying the operator to data plane clusters

[jsanda]

The operator is configured by default to run in control plane mode. If you run make deploy it will install the operator but we currently lack support for configuring the operator and deploying it to a data plane cluster.

We need a couple of things to address this:

• A Kustomization directory that applies the necessary changes to the operator configuration
  • Note that this will be change once we do K8SSAND-779 ⁃ #63 - Operator configuration #63.
• An update in the Makefile
  • Maybe something like make CONTROL_PLANE=false deploy

Something that we’d want to be promoted to the helm chart as well.
