OwnNamespace operator cannot depend on AllNamespaces operator

[gyliu513]

Bug Report

What did you do?

I have two operators, operator1 is with OwnNamespace as true and operator2 is AllNamespaces is true.

installModes:
  - supported: true
    type: OwnNamespace
  - supported: false
    type: SingleNamespace
  - supported: false
    type: MultiNamespace
  - supported: false
    type: AllNamespaces

installModes:
  - supported: false
    type: OwnNamespace
  - supported: false
    type: SingleNamespace
  - supported: false
    type: MultiNamespace
  - supported: true
    type: AllNamespaces

operator1 require operator2, then when install operator1, it report the following error:

Failed: OwnNamespace InstallModeType not supported, cannot configure to watch own namespace

Unfortunately, OLM resolver doesn't take in account InstallModes into the dependency resolution. So it depends on the operator authors to ensure all involved operators and the namespace to be compatible with InstallModes.

Hi,

If I read that correctly, we can't use OLM to handle the dependency on a global install of a cluster operator ?

For example, if I want to use a Prometheus CR, I can't use this

properties:
- type: olm.gvk.required
  value:
    group: monitoring.coreos.com
    kind: Prometheus
    version: v1
- type: olm.gvk.required
  value:
    group: monitoring.coreos.com
    kind: PrometheusRule
    version: v1

To communicate the intention: "I need a prometheus-operator available in cluster, otherwise my operator will not work" ?
