Summary of Changes

• Simplify the RustFS Operator e2e workflow to four operator-facing live targets: e2e-live-create, e2e-live-run, e2e-live-update, and e2e-live-delete.
• Keep lower-level kind/deploy/rollout behavior behind the Rust e2e helper while preserving dedicated-context live guards.
• Add/update standalone e2e crate quality gates in CI and script-test coverage for the reduced Make target surface.
• Update e2e/README.md to document the reduced live workflow and local verification path.

Checklist

• Passed make pre-commit (fmt-check + clippy + test + console-lint + console-fmt-check)

• CHANGELOG.md updated under [Unreleased] (if user-visible change; N/A for this e2e harness)
• CI/CD passed

Additional Notes

Replaces #119 with a branch based directly on current origin/main to avoid a duplicate squash-equivalent upstream commit.
