🌱examples-builtin: Refactor controller setup to use builder pattern

[s-z-z]

What

Refactors builtin example: main.go to use controller-runtime builder pattern (ctrl.NewControllerManagedBy) instead of controller.New for controller setup, consolidating ReplicaSet and Pod watches.

Why

The builder pattern is the recommended approach for Kubernetes controllers, improving code readability, maintainability, and alignment with community practices.

Impact

No functional changes. Enhances code clarity and consistency with other projects.

Hi @s-z-z. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Details

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.

I test it, and it works correctly.
