Without this, voltron's status updates fail when the aggregated apiserver proxies the write through to the backing CRD as its own service account.

Backport of #4843 to release-v1.42. Follow-up to #4824.
The original change granted calico-manager (voltron's SA) update access to managedclusters/status on the projectcalico.org aggregated API. That gets voltron past its own auth check, but when the aggregated apiserver proxies the status write through to the backing CRD it does so as the calico-apiserver SA, which still lacked managedclusters/status on crd.projectcalico.org. The result is voltron loops on:
ManagedClusters then never get a Connected condition, es-kube-controllers treats them as disconnected, and the LicenseKey never reaches the managed cluster. Verified on a live management cluster that adding this permission lets voltron set the status and unblocks the license sync.
