Description

What would you like to be added (User Story)?

As an operator I would like to move my objects without controllers taking actions during the operation

Detailed Description

As of today clusterctl move pauses cluster and cluster class before moving so the corresponding controllers stops reconciling the objects being moved

The same should apply to all the other root hierarchies, like e.g. InClusterIPPool

Anything else you would like to add?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify all root hierarchies (e.g., InClusterIPPool) besides cluster and cluster class. Modify the pause logic in clusterctl move to ensure all such hierarchies are paused before moving objects.
