Fix Spectrum-X deployment reconciliation and rail names

[almaslennikov]

Summary

• treat NicInterfaceNameTemplate interface-name mismatches as retryable for up to five minutes while keeping later verification gated
• align RA2.2 and RA2.3 example workloads and DRA selectors with SpectrumXRailPoolConfig railTopology names such as rail0 and rail0p0
• preserve the explicit legacy rail naming used by RA2.1 and document both contracts

Validation

• make test
• make build
• go run github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/v2/cmd/golangci-lint@v2.11.3 run ./...
• UV_CACHE_DIR=/Users/amaslennikov/workspace/tmp/uv-cache uv run --with-requirements requirements-docs.txt mkdocs build --strict
• git diff --check

Greptile Summary

The PR corrects Spectrum-X rail identifiers and adds bounded retry handling for transient NIC interface-name mismatches.

• Marks InterfaceNameMismatch errors as retryable while preserving terminal errors for one-shot validation.
• Starts the five-minute reconciliation window only while a retryable mismatch is observed and clears it when reconciliation returns to an ordinary in-progress state.
• Aligns RA2.2 and RA2.3 workloads, DRA selectors, documentation, and agent guidance with consumer-visible rail names such as rail0 and rail0p0.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
pkg/networkoperatorplugin/crstate/nicconfig.go	Preserves interface-name mismatches as validation errors while attaching retryable metadata for deploy polling.
pkg/networkoperatorplugin/deploy.go	Implements a mismatch-specific retry timer whose lifecycle now excludes ordinary initialization and cleared-mismatch states.
pkg/networkoperatorplugin/deploy_test.go	Adds regression coverage for delayed timer creation, timeout behavior, and timer cancellation after mismatch recovery.
pkg/networkoperatorplugin/workload.go	Aligns generated Spectrum-X workload resources and network annotations with v1alpha2 rail-topology names.
profiles/spectrum-x/90-example-daemonset.yaml	Updates the RA2.3 example workload to consume the corrected per-rail and per-plane identifiers.
profiles/spectrum-x-ra2.2/90-example-daemonset.yaml	Updates the RA2.2 example workload to use rail-topology names consistently.
profiles/spectrum-x/85-resourceclaimtemplate.yaml	Aligns RA2.3 DRA selectors with the corrected rail resource names.
profiles/spectrum-x-ra2.2/85-resourceclaimtemplate.yaml	Aligns RA2.2 DRA selectors with the corrected rail resource names.
