This PR introduces a defensive mechanism to avoid the "already exists" error messages when syncing apps with the replace flag on

It also adds a unit test to test this functionality.

This fix address the symptom and not the root cause - I will follow-up with another PR and implementation to fix also the root cause

Closes #24154

Shouldn't we check that is not a genuine AlreadyExist error - another object with same gvk and name already exists for some time (probably need additionally check creation time of the existing object or compare attributes)?

In other words - is this function always called after a check that the object being created does not exist, so this race condition is the only possible cause for this error?

@dudinea no this race condition might not be the only root cause and that's why I described this a defensive code change because it can make the system handle such errors ( from any given root cause ) with a more smooth way without returning unwanted sync errors to the users
