Upgrade KubeVirt Manager to v1.5.0

Closes #2546 (closed)

This MR upgrades the KubeVirt Manager version from v1.4.x to v1.5.0 to align with the recent upgrade of KubeVirt to v0.5.0 (SUSE-based packaging). The goal is to ensure compatibility, feature parity, and improved user experience in the VM management UI.

Closes #2633 (closed)

During the upgrade from v1.4.x to v1.5.0, Flux reconciliation fails due to an immutable field change in the spec.selector of the Deployment

This occurs because the .spec.selector.matchLabels field in the Deployment spec is immutable in Kubernetes and cannot be changed once the resource is created.

To work around this limitation, this MR:

• Adds a one_shot unit kubevirt-manager-deployment-remove
• The unit is triggered before the upgrade, and it removes the existing kubevirt-manager Deployment
• This allows the new Deployment with updated selector values to be created cleanly during reconciliation

Notes

• KubeVirt backend already upgraded to v0.5.0 (SUSE) based on v1.5.0 (Kubevirt)

Global config for deployment pipelines

• autorun pipelines
• allow failure on pipelines
• record sylvactl events

Notes:

• Enabling autorun will make deployment pipelines to be run automatically without human interaction
• Disabling allow failure will make deployment pipelines mandatory for pipeline success.
• if both autorun and allow failure are disabled, deployment pipelines will need manual triggering but will be blocking the pipeline

Be aware: after configuration change, pipeline is not triggered automatically. Please run it manually (by clicking the run pipeline button in Pipelines tab) or push new code.
