Add support for windows

[camilamacedo86]

What do you want to happen?

Description

We would like to add support for Windows. However, to achieve this goal would be required to ensure that tests/ci run against this platform, change the release to build the binary for windows and indeed ensure that controller-tools used by Kubebuilder could also run in this platform. On top of that, we would have other challenges such as the Makefile works for windows as the script to generate the testdata samples as well run in this env.

To use kubebuilder on windows without WSL, I used a docker container with volume bounded to my local drive

I did a repo with the example => kubebuilder-docker
