Captures load balancer created for an Ingress and reported in status.loadBalancer.ingress[] array.

What this PR does / why we need it:

Some times we need to know load balancer created for an ingress .

Name kube_ingress_status_load_balancer is chosen to follow pattern established by the kube_service_status_load_balancer_ingress metric.

How does this change affect the cardinality of KSM:

It introduces new fairly low-cardinality metric kube_ingress_status_load_balancer. Only cardinality concern is IP, but on major cloud providers I am aware it is not reported. Plus if it was a problem in some setups I suppose IP label can be blacklisted.

Fixes #1366

Captures load balancer created for an Ingress and
reported in `status.loadBalancer.ingress[]` array.

Is there a need for the early return?

If i.Status.LoadBalancer.Ingress is empty then ms will be equally empty and thus Metrics: ms, will be equal to Metrics: []*metric.Metric{} in this early return.

A test case to verify no metric family is returned when no load balancer ingress exists will verify there is no unwanted behavior either.

Thank you for contributing! 🎉

I'm not a maintainer but I like to help out where I can. The comments I left are some low-hanging fruit you could take a look at early in the process so there is less waiting involved when a maintainer takes a look at your PR 😉
