Issue:
Add support for namespaces for all commands that take a --sink option
<!-- If you need to report a security issue with Knative, send an email to knative-security@googlegroups.com. -->

### Feature request

It should be possible to specify the namespace of a sink for all commands that support a `--sink` option

### Use case

<!-- Please add a concrete use case to demonstrate how such a feature would add value for the user. If you don't have a use case for your feature, please remove this section (however providing a good use case increases the likelihood to be picked up) -->

Allowing the namespace for a sink allows to create cross-namespace eventing meshes, which is a not uncommon use case. It adds a new level of flexibility for creating complex eventing architectures.

### UI Example

<!-- If this is about a new command or command line options, please let us know how you would add it to the "kn" UI (in the code block below). If this is not applicable for your feature, delete this section. -->

```
kn source ping ... --sink channel:mychannel:myothernamespace
```

would create a destination which points to another namespace. the last component after the last colon should be optional, and if not provided the namespace of the source itself is used (aka the current namespace)

Pull request:
Add support for namespace for all commands that takes a --sink option
## Description
This PR will add support for the namespace that takes a  '--sink' option currently, we only resolve sink references in the current namespace but, with this PR user can able to refer the sink in another namespace.
if users pass the namespace `--sink ksvc:mysvc:my-namespace` which creates a destination that points to the my-namespace namespace, namespace support is optional, if the user not provided the namespace then-current namespace will be used
<!-- Please add a short summary about what the pull request is going to bring on the table -->
