K8SPG-866 use discovery.k8s.io/v1 EndpointSlice

[gkech]

DESCRIPTION

Problem:
v1 Endpoints is deprecated in v1.33+; use discovery.k8s.io/v1 EndpointSlice

Solution:
Before this PR, the operator created only the -primary Endpoints resource. All other Endpoints resources are created by patroni. Patroni currently does not support creating EndpointSlices in place of the deprecated Endpoints.

This PR replaces the -primary Endpoints resource with an EndpointSlice once version 2.9.0 is reached. As part of the migration, the deprecated Endpoints resource and the mirrored EndpointSlice created by endpointslicemirroring-controller.k8s.io from the deprecated Endpoints resource are deleted.

This PR also addresses the fact that EndpointSlices are not supported on GKE out of the box. The default DNS provider on GKE is kube-dns, which does not support EndpointSlices. To use EndpointSlices, users must manually deploy CoreDNS or use Cloud DNS. To fix tests, every test deploys CoreDNS in the kube-system namespace if it is not already present.

Please note that Endpoints resources are mirrored to EndpointSlices by endpointslicemirroring-controller.k8s.io, which is why the upgrade-consistency test includes assertions for EndpointSlices.
