ApplySet : `kubectl apply --prune` redesign and graduation strategy

[KnVerey]

Enhancement Description

• One-line enhancement description (can be used as a release note): This KEP proposes a safer and more performant implementation for kubectl apply's pruning feature, which enables cleanup of previously applied objects that have been removed from desired state provided to the current apply.
• Kubernetes Enhancement Proposal: https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-cli/3659-kubectl-apply-prune
• Discussion Link: The SIG CLI maintainer track talk at Kubecon NA 2021 included a segment on the problem. Most recently, this was discussed in a Contributor Summit unconference session at Kubecon NA 2022 as well as async in this background doc, which was also raised in this SIG CLI meeting. In these recent conversations, there has been consensus that we need to finally do something to move this perma-alpha forward for 1.27; hence the creation of this KEP.

Hello @KnVerey 👋, Enhancements team here.

Just checking in as we approach enhancements freeze on 18:00 PDT Thursday 9th February 2023.

This enhancement is targeting for stage alpha for v1.27 (correct me, if otherwise)

Here's where this enhancement currently stands:

• KEP readme using the latest template has been merged into the k/enhancements repo.
• KEP status is marked as implementable for latest-milestone: v1.27
• KEP readme has a updated detailed test plan section filled out
• KEP readme has up to date graduation criteria
• KEP has a production readiness review that has been completed and merged into k/enhancements.

For this enhancement, it looks like #3661 will address most of these requirements.
Please be sure to also:

• Update the status to implementable in the kep.yaml
• Record the PRR approval in a new file under https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/prod-readiness/sig-cli

The status of this enhancement is marked as at risk. Please keep the issue description up-to-date with appropriate stages as well.
Thank you!
