We sometimes see that integration test fails due to runner replicas not meeting the expected number in a timely manner. After investigating a bit, this turned out to be due to that HRA updates on webhook-based autoscaler and HRA controller are conflicting. This changes the controllers to use Patch instead of Update to make conflicts less likely to happen.
I have also updated the hra controller to use Patch when updating RunnerDeployment, too.
Overall, these changes should make the webhook-based autoscaling more reliable due to less conflicts.
