While testing #1179, I discovered that ARC sometimes stop resyncing RunnerReplicaSet when the desired replicas is greater than the actual number of runner pods. This seems to happen when ARC missed receiving a workflow_job completion event but it has no way to decide if it is either (1) something went wrong on ARC or (2) a loadbalancer in the middle or GitHub or anything not ARC went wrong. It needs a standard to decide it, or if it's not impossible, how to deal with it. In this change, I added a hard-coded 10 minutes timeout(can be made customizable later) to prevent runner pod recreation. Now, a RunnerReplicaSet/RunnerSet to restart runner pod recreation 10 minutes after the last scale-up. If the workflow completion event arrived after the timeout, it will decrease the desired replicas number that results in the removal of a runner pod. The removed runner pod might be deleted without ever being used, but I think that's better than leaving the desired replicas and the actual number of replicas diverged forever.
