What type of PR is this?

/kind feature

What this PR does / why we need it:

In the bearerAuthRoundTripper used in the client, every call to RoundTrip will add the Authorization: Bearer %s header to each request. The value of this header was built using fmt.Sprintf, doing virtually the same as concatenating strings; using fmt.Sprintf for this simple operation incurs in minor overhead from having to call a function, and performs an additional allocation.

I've made a small benchmark for this and when run against current master and this branch, the results are significant for this function:

goos: darwin
goarch: arm64
pkg: k8s.io/client-go/transport
cpu: Apple M1 Pro
                          │ bart.base.log │           bart.concat.log            │
                          │    sec/op     │    sec/op     vs base                │
BearerAuthRoundTripper-10    361.3n ± 31%   295.5n ± 11%  -18.21% (p=0.000 n=20)

                          │ bart.base.log │          bart.concat.log          │
                          │     B/op      │    B/op     vs base               │
BearerAuthRoundTripper-10      768.0 ± 0%   752.0 ± 0%  -2.08% (p=0.000 n=20)

                          │ bart.base.log │          bart.concat.log           │
                          │   allocs/op   │ allocs/op   vs base                │
BearerAuthRoundTripper-10      6.000 ± 0%   5.000 ± 0%  -16.67% (p=0.000 n=20)

Considering this method is likely used in many installations, the gains, while small, adds up to bigger savings.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Special notes for your reviewer:

Note that I mention a benchmark, this wasn't include in my changes because I couldn't find a similar one in the codebase, but I can add it in this PR. The benchmark is very simple:

func BenchmarkBearerAuthRoundTripper(b *testing.B) {
	rt := &testRoundTripper{}
	req := &http.Request{}
	bart := NewBearerAuthRoundTripper("test", rt)
	b.ReportAllocs()
	for b.Loop() {
		bart.RoundTrip(req)
	}
}

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?

NONE

Hi @inkel. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.
