Use leader-with-lease based election in the operator

...instead of leader-for-life. The latter was implemented in the operator SDK early on before controller-runtime supported leader-with-lease. However leader-with-lease is the preferred method and leader-for-life is being proposed for deprecation (see operator-framework/operator-lib#117). Signed-off-by: Tom Pantelis <[email protected]>
