Explicitly reduce user to the same as defined in the container

[RichardoC]

What this PR does / why we need it:
This reduces the pod user permissions to the same defined in Dockerfile:23
This makes it easier for administrators and security tooling to tell this workload is running as non-root

Hi @RichardoC. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes/test-infra repository.

Hey sorry for the late review, I see a RUN chown 65532 _output/bin/aws-iam-authenticator in the Dockerfile, but no USER directive. Also when using --generate-kubeconfig the containerized server needs to write a kubeconfig formatted file for the API to consume. Unless that host directory is mounted as writable by 65532, this would break that functionality right?

You're right, I'd thought https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/aws-iam-authenticator/blob/2596d17f99149e9ce518e8bc4447e404aa655a57/Dockerfile#L26C59-L26C79 was a container running as 65532 with that user directive but based on https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/1c93be24ee8a607f6add6bb1869d5d2006ffa783/build/go-runner/Dockerfile it isn't.

I can add the USER directive, but you're right about that host volume needing to be mounted as the correct group. We could default to the current group, and update the docs that this folder needs to be owned by that gid, or the manifest updated?

Altering the USER would be a breaking change to the resulting image and anyone deploying from it. Given that .spec.securityContext.runAsNonRoot and .spec.securityContext.runAsUser can be used to override the USER value, its probably not needed for most use cases.

Given that the file here is just an example (deploy/example.yaml) is this change necessary? If we had a helm chart, I could see the need to set or configure these values.
