note that we don't change the behaviour of kubectl.
For example it won't scale new resources. That's the end goal.
The first step is to retrofit existing code to use the generic scaler.

Increase latency threshold for list api calls
This is only a short-term solution to make our density test green. In the long-term, we should measure as per our new SLIs.
From @wojtek-t's [doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q5qxdeBPgTTIXZxdsFILg7kgqWhvOwY8uROEf0j5YBw) on the new SLIs/SLOs, we have the following SLO for list calls:
```
SLO1: In default Kubernetes installation, 99th percentile of SLI2 per cluster-day:
<= 1s if total number of objects of the same type as resource in the system <= X
<= 5s if total number of objects of the same type as resource in the system <= Y
<= 30s if total number of objects of the same types as resource in the system <= Z
```
I would guess that 170,000 pods would fall into the 2nd bracket (at least) and hence the new value of 5s. WDYT?
