Update kubernetes monorepo to v0.36.3 with controller-runtime v0.24.1

[raptorsun]

Summary

• Bump k8s.io/api, k8s.io/apimachinery, k8s.io/client-go, k8s.io/apiextensions-apiserver from v0.35.4 to v0.36.3
• Bump sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime from v0.23.3 to v0.24.1 for compatibility
• Go version updated from 1.25.11 to 1.26.0

Context

Supersedes #1762 which updated the k8s monorepo but failed CI (images, unit, and other jobs) because controller-runtime v0.23.3 is incompatible with k8s.io/client-go v0.36.3 — the ResourceEventHandlerRegistration interface in client-go v0.36 added a HasSyncedChecker method that controller-runtime v0.23.x doesn't implement.

Per the controller-runtime compatibility matrix, CR v0.24 is the version tested against k8s.io v0.36.

Test plan

• go mod tidy succeeds
• go build succeeds (no compilation errors)
• make test — all unit tests pass
• CI: ci/prow/images passes
• CI: ci/prow/unit passes
• CI: ci/prow/generate passes

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated Kubernetes and controller-runtime components to newer versions.
  • Refreshed related indirect dependencies for improved compatibility and maintenance.
