Enhance the garbage collector to periodically refresh the resources it
monitors (via discovery) to enable custom resource definition GC.
This implementation caches Unstructured structs for any kinds not
covered by a shared informer. The existing meta-only codec only supports
compiled types; an improved codec which supports arbitrary types could
be introduced to optimize caching to store only metadata for all
non-informer types.
