k8s-upgrade: reclaim+auto-prune kubeadm /etc/kubernetes/tmp leak; correct crash root cause to etcd IO (not OIDC)
Digging into "why did the apiserver crash" disproved the earlier OIDC
explanation. An isolated v1.35.6 apiserver repro with authentik reachable
initialises OIDC cleanly (oidc.go:313, no error) and runs fine — so the
--authentication-config -> --oidc-* revert is NOT what crashed it. etcd's
surviving crash-window log is the real cause: 1180 "apply request took too long"
warnings in 16 min, individual applies up to 4.3s (healthy <100ms) right as
kubeadm tried to bring up the new apiserver. That's etcd IO starvation on the
shared sdc HDD (beads code-oflt).

A big contributor + the reason master root fs sat at 73%: kubeadm dumps a full
~400MB etcd DB backup into /etc/kubernetes/tmp/kubeadm-backup-etcd-<ts>/ before
every etcd upgrade and never cleans it up — 145 dirs / 28GB had accumulated,
driving image-GC churn and extra write-IO onto etcd's spindle. Reclaimed live
(73% -> 23%) and added a preflight prune (>3 days) so it can't re-accumulate.

Also corrected the OIDC handling: the kubeadm-config drift is real but only
breaks dashboard/kubectl SSO AFTER a successful upgrade (recoverable via the
chain's restore.sh + the kubeadm-config reconciliation) — it does not crash the
apiserver. So the preflight check is now an ALERT, not a block (was added on the
wrong hypothesis). Post-mortem, runbook, and apiserver-oidc.tf header corrected.

Per Viktor: reclaim the disk and automate so the manual cleanup never recurs;
the durable IO fix remains code-oflt (etcd off the shared HDD).
