myasnikovdaniil 628ebce653 feat(platform): add deletion-protection guardrail via ValidatingAdmissionPolicy (#2650)
## What this PR does

Adds a `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy` that blocks `DELETE` on critical
platform
objects labeled `platform.cozystack.io/no-delete=true`. Native,
in-process CEL
evaluation — no webhook DaemonSet, no Service, no TLS, no image to
maintain.
Requires Kubernetes 1.30+.

This is an alternative to the closed #2402 (admission webhook approach).

### Protected objects (labeled in this PR)

| Resource | Kind | Source |
|---|---|---|
| `cozy-system` | Namespace |
`packages/core/installer/templates/cozy-system-{namespace,labels}.yaml`
|
| `tenant-root` | Namespace |
`packages/system/cozystack-basics/templates/tenant-root.yaml` |
| `tenant-root` | HelmRelease (ns: tenant-root) | same |
| `cozystack-version` | ConfigMap (ns: cozy-system) |
`packages/core/platform/templates/cozystack-version.yaml` |
| `cozystack-packages` | OCIRepository (ns: cozy-system) |
`packages/core/platform/templates/repository.yaml` |
| `letsencrypt-prod`, `letsencrypt-stage`, `selfsigned-cluster-issuer` |
ClusterIssuer |
`packages/system/cert-manager-issuers/templates/cluster-issuers.yaml` |
| `linstorcluster` | LinstorCluster |
`packages/system/linstor/templates/cluster.yaml` |
| `packages.cozystack.io`, `packagesources.cozystack.io` | CRD | label
stamped in `internal/crdinstall/install.go` |

### Bypass

```bash
kubectl label <kind> <name> platform.cozystack.io/no-delete-
kubectl delete <kind> <name>
```

### Why VAP instead of a webhook

Same outcome as #2402 but with zero runtime infrastructure: no
DaemonSet, Service,
TLS certificate, or image. The kube-apiserver evaluates the CEL
`expression: "false"` in-process and denies because `validationActions:
[Deny]`.
`objectSelector` on the binding scopes evaluation to labeled objects
only — every
other DELETE in the cluster is unaffected.

### Release note

```release-note
feat(platform): add deletion-protection guardrail (ValidatingAdmissionPolicy)
blocking DELETE on cozystack platform objects labeled
`platform.cozystack.io/no-delete=true`. Bypass by removing the label first.
Requires Kubernetes 1.30+.
```

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Deletion-protection guardrail: objects labeled
platform.cozystack.io/no-delete=true are denied DELETE requests; removal
of the label allows deletion.

* **Chores**
* Platform migration to v43 backfills the no-delete label onto system
resources and namespaces.

* **Tools**
* Added an "unprotect" teardown utility to remove the no-delete label
for uninstall/disaster recovery.

* **Documentation**
* Helm NOTES now warns when the guardrail is inactive due to missing
cluster API.

* **Tests**
  * New tests and e2e checks validate deletion-protection behavior.
