Description

**Describe the problem/challenge you have**
The list of apps are not showing any info about target clusters.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
I would like to execute `kubect get Apps` and get output something like:
```
➜ kubectl get Apps
NAME DESCRIPTION SINCE-DEPLOY AGE CLUSTER
nginx-app Reconcile succeeded 22s 48m myClusterFoo
simple-app Reconcile succeeded 31s 72m local
new-app Reconcile succeeded 21s 32m local
```

where `local` means my management cluster, the one on which I'm executing `kubectl` or `kapp`. And `myClusterFoo ` is a string from: `app.spec.cluster.kubeconfigSecretRef`, with CAPI it's one of my workload cluster.

Example of my App:

```
apiVersion: kappctrl.k14s.io/v1alpha1
kind: App
metadata:
name: nginx-app
namespace: default
spec:
cluster:
kubeconfigSecretRef:
name: myClusterFoo-cluster-kubeconfig
namespace: default

fetch:
- http:
url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/website/main/content/en/examples/application/deployment.yaml
template:
- ytt: {}
deploy:
- kapp: {}
```

**Anything else you would like to add:**
I'm happy to prepare PR for it :-)

Research direction

Start by locating the implementation and tests for `kubectl get Apps` output in kapp-controller, then trace how `app.spec.cluster.kubeconfigSecretRef` is represented. Done means the list includes a CLUSTER column, showing the referenced workload cluster or `local` for the management cluster, as in the issue's example.
