Aleksei Sviridkin 31c15b282f feat(network): mechanism-agnostic LoadBalancer exposure (ExposureClass + ServiceExposure) (#3081)
## What this PR does

Lays the foundation for migrating tenant LoadBalancer exposure off the
deprecated `Service.spec.externalIPs` (KEP-5707) and, eventually, off
MetalLB onto Cilium-native announcement — the mechanism-agnostic shape
prescribed when the earlier chart-side approach (#2468) was reverted in
#2603.

It adds a new `network.cozystack.io/v1alpha1` API group and a controller
that translates intent into whichever LoadBalancer backend the cluster
admin configured:

- `ExposureClass` (cluster-scoped, admin): binds a logical class name to
a backend (`externalIPs` | `metallb` | `cilium` | `robotlb`) and its VIP
address scope — the StorageClass/IngressClass pattern.
- `ServiceExposure` (namespaced, tenant intent): "expose this Service
via class X"; status reports the resolved backend and assigned IPs.
- A `serviceexposure` controller renders the backend's pool + announcer
once per class (MetalLB `IPAddressPool` + `L2Advertisement`; Cilium
`CiliumLoadBalancerIPPool` + `CiliumL2AnnouncementPolicy`), scoped to
the namespaces that opted in. Backends are pluggable behind a small Go
interface, so adding BGP or another cloud LB is one implementation, not
an API change. The controller never mutates the target Service — the
chart still owns its shape.

Platform wiring: `publishing.exposureClass.*` renders the admin
`ExposureClass` and the host ingress publishes through it. The default
(no class set, `externalIPs`) leaves every existing cluster's behaviour
byte-for-byte unchanged; the MetalLB→Cilium announcer migration becomes
a single `ExposureClass.spec.backend` change.

This is the foundation only — Part of #2586. Converting per-app
exposure, flipping Cilium `l2announcements` on, changing the default,
and removing MetalLB are deferred to later phases.

### Release note

```release-note
feat(network): add ExposureClass and ServiceExposure for mechanism-agnostic LoadBalancer exposure. Opt-in foundation; the default externalIPs publishing path is unchanged.
```

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Added new `ExposureClass` and `ServiceExposure` custom resources with
support for multiple backends (externalIPs, MetalLB, Cilium, RobotLB),
including optional L2 and address configuration.
* Added Helm wiring and templates to enable service/ingress publishing
via `ServiceExposure`, selecting a configured (or default)
`ExposureClass`.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved reconciliation, finalizer-based cleanup, and status updates
for readiness and assigned IP reporting, including safer handling when
backends or managed resources change.
* **Tests**
* Added end-to-end and unit test coverage for backend rendering,
readiness, and cleanup flows.
