Introduce foundational controller tests in mk2

[csweichel]

In mk1 we relied heavily on fixture tests. While convenient, they also carry a lot of burden and outdated state. Instead, we need a simple API to test several controller transitions, including resource creation (e.g. pod).

We also need to test the interaction with the gRPC API and CR.
