Cannot login if my kube config doesn't exist redhat-developer#3872

Creates a minimalistic Kube config file in `~/.kube/` directory needed for `@kubernetes/client-node` API. The file contents doesn't define any clusters/users/contexts/etc. properties. Fixes: redhat-developer#3872 Signed-off-by: Victor Rubezhny <[email protected]>
