startControlPlane assumes kubebuilder etcd?

What happened:

Trying to use kuttl with startControlPlane: true and getting the following:

$ kubectl kuttl test
=== RUN   kuttl
    harness.go:462: starting setup
    harness.go:246: running tests with a mocked control plane (kube-apiserver and etcd).
    harness.go:513: cleaning up
    harness.go:570: removing temp folder: ""
    harness.go:595: fatal error getting client: unable to start control plane itself: failed to start the controlplane. retried 5 times: fork/exec /usr/local/kubebuilder/bin/etcd: no such file or directory
--- FAIL: kuttl (0.00s)
FAIL

Is there something that is hard-coded looking for etcd at that kubebuilder path?

I hacked up a work-around, which is to run everything from within a container environment, https://github.com/apache/hbase-kustomize/tree/main/dockerfiles/kuttl

I'm no expert on this, but I think it's customizable. Admittedly this should be better documented here. This might be a good place to start.
