// checkWatchListDataConsistencyIfRequested performs a data consistency check only when
// the KUBE_WATCHLIST_INCONSISTENCY_DETECTOR environment variable was set during a binary startup.
//
// The consistency check is meant to be enforced only in the CI, not in production.
// The check ensures that data retrieved by the watch-list api call
// is exactly the same as data received by the standard list api call against etcd.
//
// Note that this function will panic when data inconsistency is detected.
// This is intentional because we want to catch it in the CI.
