Andrei Kvapil fbbe4af7df refactor(network): drop ExposureClass/ServiceExposure for native loadBalancerClass (#3218)
## What

Removes the `network.cozystack.io` API group — `ExposureClass` +
`ServiceExposure` (#3081) — and its reconciler, in favor of native
`Service` `type: LoadBalancer` + `loadBalancerClass`.

## Why

Full rationale and discussion in #3164. For **managed applications** the
chart already owns the Service, so:

- `type: LoadBalancer` + `loadBalancerClass` + an admin-provisioned pool
covers vendor-neutral external exposure without a dedicated API group
and controller;
- the `externalIPs` (node-IP) default never went through
`ServiceExposure` (its backend is a no-op) and is left unchanged;
- the only current consumer, the host ingress, keeps rendering `type:
LoadBalancer` and just drops the `ServiceExposure`; the admin provisions
the address pool / announcer out of band, as the install docs already
assume.

`ServiceExposure`'s one unique feature — dynamic per-namespace scoping
of a shared VIP pool — is a convenience the managed-app path does not
need, and it does not justify a second tenant-networking API group next
to `sdn.cozystack.io`.

## Changes

- Delete `api/network/v1alpha1` and
`internal/controller/serviceexposure` (+ CRD definitions, e2e bats,
controller registration, RBAC).
- Host ingress: drop the `ServiceExposure` template; add an optional
`publishing.loadBalancerClass` that sets `spec.loadBalancerClass` on the
host-ingress LoadBalancer Service.
- The `externalIPs` path and default behavior are unchanged.

## Verification

- `go build ./...` — green.
- `helm unittest` — `core/platform` 72/72, `extra/ingress` 25/25 (incl.
host-vs-tenant `loadBalancerClass` scoping and the immutable-field
migration guard).

## Migration

None required. `network.cozystack.io` (#3081) has never shipped in a
release — it is on `main` only (not backported to `release-1.5`; absent
from v1.4.x / v1.5.x), so no upgrading cluster has these CRDs and this
removes it before it is ever released.

Clusters that track `main` and explicitly set `publishing.exposureClass`
(opt-in, only since 2026-06-30) should provision their MetalLB / Cilium
address pool themselves and set `publishing.loadBalancerClass`; any
orphaned `cozystack-<class>` pool can be deleted by hand. Default
clusters (externalIPs path) are unaffected.

## Status

**Draft / RFC for the #3164 discussion** — this removes an API group
that landed only days ago, so nothing here should merge before the
design call. cc @lexfrei (author of #3081) and @lllamnyp (#3164).

Deferred: when Kubernetes actually removes `Service.spec.externalIPs`,
the node-IP default migrates via a MetalLB `IPAddressPool` with no
`L2Advertisement` (allocate-but-don't-announce) — a separate change.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Added support for configuring the ingress host Service with a native
`loadBalancerClass` value.
* Expanded chart tests to verify class wiring and immutability behavior
across install and upgrade scenarios.

* **Bug Fixes**
* Removed the legacy exposure-class/service-exposure flow and related
controller behavior.
* Updated templates and CRD packaging so the platform no longer renders
or depends on those deprecated resources.
