ray: update KubeRay and Ray versions

[danish9039]

Pull Request Template for Kubeflow Manifests

Summary of Changes

This PR updates the experimental Ray manifests to align the checked-in KubeRay operator and Ray example/test versions:

• KubeRay chart/operator: 1.6.2
• Ray example/test image: rayproject/ray:2.56.0-py311-cpu
• Ray example rayVersion: 2.56.0

The KubeRay operator resources were regenerated with the existing Makefile path.

Reviewer note: the generated KubeRay 1.6.2 chart has large expected churn. It adds the raycronjobs.ray.io CRD and RayCronJob roles, expands operator RBAC for resources such as secrets, pods/resize, endpointslices, and Gateway API resources, and raw generated namespaced objects include namespace: default; the Kubeflow overlay still renders namespaced resources into kubeflow.

This PR intentionally does not include the restricted-PSS Ray example changes from #3487.

Dependencies

No direct dependency. Related to the broader PR split from #3487.

Related Issues

@juliusvonkohout No change was required for this version bump because the existing ray.io wildcard ( * ) already covers RayCronJob, but replacing it with an explicit resource list would be a good least-privilege follow-up. Do you want that change ??
