Description

**Describe the problem/challenge you have**
I'd like make use of server side apply feature, bypassing rebaseRule entirely.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

An optional support for server-side apply, enabled by the `--server-side` flag.

**Anything else you would like to add:**

When server-side apply is in use rebaseRules are entirely bypassed. Diff is generated using dry run and diffing result with kubernetes objects currently in cluster to get a most accurate preview of changes.

Should server side apply generate a conflict, it can be resolved in kapp favour with `--force` flag.

`kapp.k14s.io/original` annotation remains populated to support subsequent kapp invocations without `--server-side` flag. Default rebaseRules probably need to be updated to keep cluster-managed `metadata.managedFields` path.
