Since the HPA controller pulls information from an external source that
makes no guarantees about consistency, it's possible for the HPA
to get into an infinite update loop -- if the metrics change with
every query, the HPA controller will run it's normal reconcilation,
post a status update, see that status update itself, fetch new metrics,
and if those metrics are different, post another status update, and
repeat. This can lead to continuously updating a single HPA.
By rate-limiting each HPA to once per sync interval, we prevent this
from happening.
