k8s-version-upgrade: auto-restore apiserver OIDC after control-plane bumps
Some checks failed
ci/woodpecker/push/default Pipeline failed

kubeadm upgrade apply regenerates the apiserver static-pod manifest and drops
the --authentication-config flag, silently breaking SSO (kubectl/kubelogin + the
k8s dashboard) until someone manually re-applied the rbac stack. That manual step
ran after every control-plane upgrade — the one thing keeping autonomous patch
upgrades from being truly hands-off (it bit us this cycle: an earlier master bump
left SSO broken until we noticed).

Automate it: the rbac stack now publishes its existing OIDC restore script (the
same one its null_resource runs) to a kube-system/apiserver-oidc-restore
ConfigMap, and the upgrade chain's phase_master re-runs it on master right after
the kubeadm upgrade — while tigera-operator is still quiesced so the flag-add
apiserver restart can't crashloop it. The script is idempotent and health-gates
/livez with auto-rollback; the step is non-fatal (a failure only lags SSO until
the next rbac apply, it won't abort the upgrade). phase_master already self-skips
when master is at target, so this only fires when master was actually upgraded.

The chain SA gets a name-scoped get on that one ConfigMap. Runbook updated: the
manual restore is now a documented fallback (command corrected — it needs
-replace, since the null_resource trigger hash never changes).
