K8s 1.36 promotes MutatingAdmissionPolicy to v1; v1beta1 is scheduled for removal in 1.37. Hardcoding v1beta1 broke operator reconciles on clusters that only serve v1. Use the RESTMapper to pick the served version (prefer v1), and parse/list/sync at that version.
Avoid a per-reconcile RESTMapping call by discovering the served version in main() and threading it through ControllerOptions to the installation controller.
Generalize one-shot API discovery into a small package that controllers can query without hitting the cluster. cmd/main.go pre-resolves the set of GroupKinds we care about and passes a Discovery snapshot through ControllerOptions; lookups are plain map reads.
Fold the new APIDiscovery type into the existing discovery file rather than adding a new package next to it. Cluster-shape helpers move from pkg/controller/utils into pkg/common/discovery alongside the served-API snapshot.

Description
The operator hardcoded the use of
admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1for MutatingAdmissionPolicy. K8s 1.36 promoted MutatingAdmissionPolicy tov1and v1beta1 is scheduled for removal in 1.37, so clusters that only serve v1 produced reconcile errors likeno matches for kind "MutatingAdmissionPolicy" in version "admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1"(see projectcalico/calico#6412 (comment)).This PR discovers the served version via the RESTMapper and uses it for parsing, listing, creating, and stale-cleanup. Preference order is v1, then v1beta1. If neither is served the controller reports a degraded condition and skips policy defaulting, same as before.
Split into two commits:
k8s.io/*tov0.36.1andsigs.k8s.io/controller-runtimetov0.24.1so the v1 typed import is available.pkg/imports/admissionandpkg/controller/installation/core_controller.go. The previous staticProvidesMutatingAdmissionPolicyV1Beta1minor-version check is replaced by RESTMapper-based discovery, which is more accurate across forks and feature gates.
