Operator cannot install Tekton Pipeline components on Kubernetes v1.25

[qu1queee]

Per shipwright-io/build#1173 , when installing the SHP operator, one cannot get the Tekton controller and webhook in the cluster. This only happens on v1.25 and v1.26, however it works on a v1.23.

@adambkaplan @qu1queee this should be moved to the operator repository ?

I have tested and it's working for me.

Steps:

1. install tekton
2. install olm from operator-sdk olm install
3. install shipwright operator from kubectl apply -f https://operatorhub.io/install/shipwright-operator.yaml

Per @liangyuanpeng - this is working on k8s 1.26, and I suspect it should work on any current version of k8s.

I suspect the original issue was that Tekton's operator was out of date. The Operator Lifecycle Manager (olm) lets us declare a dependency on the Tekton operator - when the Shipwright operator is installed, OLM tries to find an appropriate operator for Tekton and install that, too. Part of the Shipwright operator's reconcile loop is to detect if Tekton has been installed, and if not, call the Tekton operator APIs to install it on our behalf.
