Upgrade notes

• Garage v2.3.0 and v2.4.0 crash at start with any discovery configured: use v2.4.1 or newer (the built-in default) when enabling spec.discovery.
• All API changes are additive. Re-apply CRDs (and upgrade the Helm chart) to pick up websiteExposure, the Bucket ID column, volumeAttributesClassName, the pod extras fields and layoutManagement.siteRole/status.layoutWriter (v1beta1 and v1beta2 both carry them).
• volumeAttributesClassName needs a CSI driver and cluster with VolumeAttributesClass support. Pod extras and siteRole are no-ops until set.
• RBAC gains networking.k8s.io/ingresses and gateway.networking.k8s.io/httproutes. Namespace-scoped installs get these in the namespace Role.
• Rollback: older operators ignore websiteExposure. A cross-namespace exposure resource has no owner reference and would be orphaned if its bucket is deleted by an older operator; delete it manually in that case.
