Description
**What would you like to be added**:
- Support custom action into the TinkerbellTemplateConfig to install custom packages into the node following the official documentation:
https://anywhere.eks.amazonaws.com/docs/getting-started/baremetal/bare-spec/#custom-tinkerbell-action-examples
- A fix was merged for this support in upstream tinkerbell - https://github.com/tinkerbell/hook/pull/200.
Workaround:
1. EKSA Admins can use the upstream built HookOS files with EKS-A here: https://github.com/tinkerbell/hook/releases/download/latest/hook_x86_64.tar.gz.
2. EKSA Cluster admins can download the archive and extract the contents to a location that is being served via HTTP.
3. The directory format to follow is found here: https://anywhere.eks.amazonaws.com/docs/getting-started/baremetal/bare-spec/#example-tinkerbelldatacenterconfigspec
4. EKSA Admin should specify the location where they have hosted the files in the cluster config:
```
TinkerbellDatacenterConfig.spec.hookImagesURLPath: "http://my-web-server/hook"
```
**Why is this needed**:
- Support custom action into the TinkerbellTemplateConfig to install custom packages into the node
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the official custom Tinkerbell action examples linked in the issue and review the upstream tinkerbell/hook pull request #200. Trace how TinkerbellTemplateConfig and TinkerbellDatacenterConfig handle HookOS and custom actions. Done means custom actions can install packages through TinkerbellTemplateConfig without requiring the documented HookOS workaround.
