EnsureLoadBalancer: Only add matching regions #64

If you have servers in several locations, and you do not specifiy load-balancer.hetzner.cloud/node-selector for a Service of type LoadBalancer, you get an error like this:

Warning SyncLoadBalancerFailed service-controller
Error syncing load balancer: failed to ensure load balancer: hcloud/loadBalancers.EnsureLoadBalancer: hcops/LoadBalancerOps.ReconcileHCLBTargets: target ...: servers and load balancers needs to be in the same network zone, cross network zone is not supported (unsupported_error, ea128263a919e24)

After adding load-balancer.hetzner.cloud/node-selector it works.

We should either provide a better error message, or skip all nodes which do not fit to the region.

Here are files to reproduce it:

deployment-ash.yaml

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: region-test-ash
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: region-test-ash
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: region-test-ash
    spec:
      nodeSelector:
        topology.kubernetes.io/region: ash
      initContainers:
        - name: init-html
          image: busybox
          command: ["sh", "-c"]
          args:
            - |
              echo "<html><body>
              <h1>Test Page</h1>
              <p>Pod: $(hostname)</p>
              </body></html>" > /usr/share/nginx/html/index.html
          volumeMounts:
            - name: html
              mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html
      containers:
        - name: web
          image: nginx:1.25
          ports:
            - containerPort: 80
          volumeMounts:
            - name: html
              mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html
      volumes:
        - name: html
          emptyDir: {}

service-ash.yaml:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: region-test-ash
  annotations:
    load-balancer.hetzner.cloud/location: ash
    load-balancer.hetzner.cloud/node-selector: topology.kubernetes.io/region=ash ### <<< fails without that
spec:
  selector:
    app: region-test-ash
  type: LoadBalancer
  ports:
    - port: 80
      targetPort: 80

With other words: Why is node-selector needed, when "location" is defined in the service?
