Aleksei Sviridkin 9e89ae84ac fix(kubernetes): default worker disk storageClass to the application storageClass (#3129)
## What this PR does

Worker node VMs in a tenant Kubernetes cluster set `evictionStrategy:
External`, so they live-migrate. Live migration requires the worker
system DataVolume to be ReadWriteMany, and linstor-csi only grants RWX
on a DRBD-backed StorageClass. When a node group leaves `storageClass`
empty, the worker DataVolume template previously omitted
`storageClassName` and fell through to the management cluster's default
StorageClass — which is operator-configured and not guaranteed to be
DRBD-backed. On any cluster whose default StorageClass is not a
replicated/DRBD class, the worker disk lands on a non-RWX class and live
migration breaks.

This changes the empty-`storageClass` fallback from the management
cluster default to the application-level `storageClass` (default
`replicated`, a DRBD/LINSTOR class): `{{- with .group.storageClass |
default $.Values.storageClass }}`. A per-node-group `storageClass` still
wins when set; when both the node group and the application
`storageClass` are empty, `storageClassName` is omitted so the cluster
default still applies (explicit opt-out preserved).

Doc and codegen surfaces (`types.go`, `values.yaml`,
`values.schema.json`, `README.md`, and the generated `kubernetes-rd`
ResourceDefinition) are regenerated in lockstep with the new field
description. Chart unit tests cover the full contract: fallback to the
application class, a custom application class, per-node-group override
winning, and the both-empty omit path.

**Upgrade impact — one-time worker-pool roll.** The
`KubevirtMachineTemplate` name embeds a hash of the rendered worker
template body, and the MachineDeployment references that name. On the
shipped default (`md0` leaves `storageClass` empty) the body changes
from "no `storageClassName`" to `storageClassName: replicated`, so on
upgrade the template is renamed and Cluster API performs a one-time
rolling replacement of the worker pool — for every existing tenant
cluster, including those whose default StorageClass already was
`replicated` (the roll is driven by the body hash, not by whether the
effective class differs). This is the same class of roll any
worker-template change triggers and is unavoidable with this approach.
Two test pins document and guard the hash so future body changes are
deliberate.

### Release note

```release-note
fix(kubernetes): worker node disks now fall back to the application-level storageClass (a replicated/DRBD class) instead of the management-cluster default when a node group leaves storageClass empty, so live migration of worker VMs gets the ReadWriteMany volume it requires. Upgrading rolls each tenant cluster's worker pool once.
```

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved worker disk `storageClassName` fallback for empty
per-node-group values: it now reliably uses the app-level
replicated/DRBD StorageClass (rather than relying on the
management-cluster default).
* Ensured KubeVirt data volume templates and rendering behavior are
consistent across single- and multi-node-group setups.

* **Documentation**
* Refined `storageClass`/RWX/DRBD guidance across configuration docs and
schema descriptions, including the intended non-immutable behavior
(optional/undefaulted).

* **Tests**
* Updated template test expectations to cover the new fallback vs
omission cases, including naming assertions for rendered templates.
