Why are these changes needed?
I'd like to give the autoscaler
The goal is to enable more efficient "list pods" API calls in the autoscaler. Currently each autoscaler lists without specifying a resource version, which is taxing on etcd, especially if there are many Ray clusters in the K8s cluster.
We would like to specify a reasonably fresh pods resource version in the API call.
To that end, we will have the autoscaler patch the head pod's annotations.
The resource version carried in the response is the version at which the pod was modified, so it should be fresh enough.
After the autoscaler patches the head pod, it can read the resourceVersion in the response and use that in the list query.
