Aleksei Sviridkin b255dc4dd8 fix(kafka-operator): size the operator JVM from its container limits
The JDK 17 in the Strimzi 0.45.1-rc1 operator image decides whether to
read the container limits by looking at /proc/cgroups. Kernels 6.12 and
newer built without CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 no longer list the memory controller
there, so the JVM turns container support off and takes host RAM and
host CPUs as its budget: on a 128 GiB node it picks G1 with a 25 GiB max
heap and a 2 GiB initial heap inside a 512Mi limit, and the kernel
OOM-kills the operator under load. A restart at the wrong moment leaves
a freshly created StrimziPodSet without pods for up to the five-minute
informer resync, which is how a KRaft controller pool ends up never
starting within an e2e timeout.

The limits now reach the JVM through the downward API as -XX:MaxRAM and
-XX:ActiveProcessorCount, so they follow any later change to the
container resources. In a test cluster the operator then picks Serial
GC and a heap of about 100 MiB. The upstream JDK fix is JDK-8347811,
backported to 17.0.20 and 21.0.10.
