ACK should generate reference and selector fields

[muvaf]

What problem are you facing?

ACK does not generate reference and selector fields. It adds a Custom{CRDName}Parameters field as inline and expects you to create that struct and add your ref & selector fields. This causes generated code not to compile as is and also requires developer to write Custom{CRDName}Parameters struct even if it's actually empty.

How could Crossplane help solve your problem?

ACK can actually add those fields, however, it needs to know which fields are reference-able. So, developer input will be needed to list which fields should have two additional fields as referencer and selector. After that, we'll likely not need Custom{CRDName}Parameters anymore and it can be deleted, which gets the generated code into compile-able state.

@muvaf is this topic solved with crossplane/crossplane-tools#35 ?

[muvaf]

@haarchri No, that PR only generates the resolver function if the fields are marked. aws-controllers-k8s/code-generator#246 should help us mark the fields and then have the pipeline generate the rest.
