make test: also test that building the example works

[pohly]

The prow jobs don't check that examples/hostpath-provisioner is in a healthy state.

Either "make test" or "make build" should cover that. I'm leaning to "make test", but that's debatable.

Thank you for highlighting this issue.

I think there can be two ways to address this issue,

--> Integrate make test: This would run tests to ensure functionality and correctness.
--> Integrate make build: This would ensure the example builds successfully, though it won't verify runtime behavior.

[jsafrane]

We need to ensure that examples/hostpath-provisioner at least builds. Even that would be a great improvement.
If you can, adding an e2e test that checks the example even works would be awesome, but that requires setting up a Kubernetes cluster for the e2e job.
