IvanHunters dffe259d95 fix(kube-ovn): raise ovs-ovn CPU limit/request to relieve ovn-controller throttling (#3050)
## What this PR does

**Problem.** `ovn-controller` runs inside the `ovs-ovn` DaemonSet's
single `openvswitch` container, sharing one CPU limit with
`ovsdb-server` and `ovs-vswitchd`. The container CPU limit was `2` cores
and the request `10m`. For three latency-sensitive daemons on a busy
cluster that ceiling is tight: under a burst of pod creation (a large
install with many concurrent HelmReleases) `ovn-controller` is CPU-bound
while programming OpenFlow for newly created logical ports, and a `10m`
request leaves it almost no guaranteed share under node CPU contention.

**Change.** Raise the `ovs-ovn` container CPU limit from `2` to `4`
cores and the request from `10m` to `100m`, so the co-located daemons
have headroom under burst and `ovn-controller` keeps a guaranteed
scheduling share under contention. Memory is unchanged — the change is
scoped to CPU.

**Scope — hardening, not a proven fix.** This change started from a
hypothesis that CPU throttling was lengthening flow-programming and
causing transient host→pod unreachability (`connection refused` from a
pod's own node) during burst installs. A live trace of a captured
occurrence of that symptom showed **zero** `ovs-ovn` CPU throttling in
the failure window, so the throttle ceiling was **not** the cause of
that failure. This PR therefore lands as a cheap, safe, well-bounded
headroom improvement on a ceiling that is genuinely tight for three
co-located daemons — not as a fix for the unreachability flake, whose
root cause is separate and still open.

**Test.** `helm template` confirms the rendered `ovs-ovn` DaemonSet now
sets `requests.cpu: 100m` and `limits.cpu: 4` (with `ephemeral-storage:
1Gi` inherited from the subchart default). A new helm-unittest
regression guard pins the raised limit and request.

### Screenshots

No UI changes.
