Add prop for setting service account name

[plumdog]

This is unset so defaults to the id of the resource, per https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_eks.ServiceAccount.html#name

This can get very long (I'm using CDK pipelines) and Kubernetes caps the length of the label at 63 characters.

Should add an option to allow me to set this.

I'm investigating whether I can handle this with CDK escape hatches.

My disgraceful but effective workaround:

const orig = myCluster.addServiceAccount.bind(myCluster);
const patched = (id: string, props: eks.ServiceAccountProps) => {
    const patchedProps = id === 'karpenter' ? { ...props, name: 'karpenter' } : props;
    return orig(id, patchedProps);
};
// @ts-ignore
myCluster.addServiceAccount = patched;

This allows me to make

cdk-eks-karpenter/src/index.ts

Lines 112 to 114 in c4179c0

	this.serviceAccount = this.cluster.addServiceAccount('karpenter', {
	namespace: this.namespace,
	});

do what I want, which is actually:

this.serviceAccount = this.cluster.addServiceAccount('karpenter', {
    namespace: this.namespace,
    name: 'karpenter',
});

@plumdog thanks for the report! Would it make sense to just default the serivceAccountName to karpenter and provide an option to the construct to specify your own name? In hindsight I don't really see the benefits of using the CDK generated name and can't really see how changing this behavior could break existing deployments either; the name of the serviceAccount would change but so would the reference to it in the Helm chart values.

@andskli Yes, I think just defaulting to karpenter would be perfectly sensible.

And I agree it makes sense to treat that as an implementation detail, rather than a breaking change.
