cmd/containerboot: simplify k8s setup logic (#13627)

Rearrange conditionals to reduce indentation and make it a bit easier to read
the logic. Also makes some error message updates for better consistency
with the recent decision around capitalising resource names and the
upcoming addition of config secrets.

Updates #cleanup
