…gera#4834) In v3 CRD / webhooks mode the calico-uisettings-passthrough ClusterRole is not deployed, so kube-apiserver RBAC denied UISettings writes before the calico-webhooks UISettings handler could narrow access via a SAR on uisettingsgroups/data. Add a uisettings write rule to tigera-network-admin that only applies when RequiresAggregationServer is false. (cherry picked from commit c6c41bb)

Cherry-pick of #4834 to release-v1.42.
In v3 CRD / webhooks mode (no aggregated calico-apiserver), a user bound to
tigera-network-admincan't create/update/delete UISettings. Thecalico-uisettings-passthroughClusterRole that grants the broad permission only ships whenRequiresAggregationServeris true, so kube-apiserver RBAC was denying the request before the calico-webhooks UISettings handler could narrow access via a SAR onuisettingsgroups/data.This adds a
uisettingswrite rule totigera-network-adminthat only applies whenRequiresAggregationServeris false. In aggregated mode the existing passthrough role still does the job and the apiserver's custom authorizer handles narrowing.Fixes CORE-12757.
