Api client not able to properly be set when no certs are in kubeconfig about arcaflow-lib-kubernetes-python

[paigerube14]

We're working on taking this out to get around this error in pr: https://github.com/redhat-chaos/krkn-lib-kubernetes/pull/6/files but want to see if a solution is possible upstream

For some more context, the problem arises with this library being used directly in the Krkn code here:

https://github.com/redhat-chaos/krkn-lib-kubernetes/blob/521086979708eaced1bd1825eb0eebdf80e1ef75/src/krkn_lib_kubernetes/client.py#L109-L116

        try:
            kubeconfig = arcaflow_lib_kubernetes.parse_kubeconfig(
                kubeconfig_str
            )
            connection = arcaflow_lib_kubernetes.kubeconfig_to_connection(
                kubeconfig, True
            )
            self.api_client = arcaflow_lib_kubernetes.connect(connection)

Right, krkn-chaos/krkn-lib#6 replaces the kubeconfig loading calls.
