✨ feat(schema): Add marker to skip fields

[MisterMX]

This adds a new field marker +kubebuilder:skip that allows explicitly ignoring properties during schema generation but keeping them in the Go struct for JSON marshalling at the same time.

Hi @MisterMX. 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.

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.

Hey @MisterMX, can you explain more about the use case here? I'm curious in which scenario would you want to have a field in the type but not generated within the schema?

[MisterMX]

We are using a wrapper around cmd/controller-gen to generate XRDs for https://github.com/crossplane/crossplane which are basically CRDs with additional flavoured properties. We ran into a problem where we want these additional properties to appear in the struct (so they can be unmarshalled) but not in the schema (because the definitions are added by Crossplane).

The easiest way for us to solve this issue is by having kubebuilder ignore the respective properties and not include them in the schema.

[JoelSpeed]

Can you provide a concrete example to where this is used? When you say the definitions are added by crossplane, does that mean that the fields are populated by crossplane on admission? I don't really understand where you're going here. Are the values ever returned and represented to the end user?
