feat(operator): add kagent v1alpha2 RemoteMCPServer support

This commit adds support for kagent v1alpha2 API which uses RemoteMCPServer
resources instead of the v1alpha1 ToolServer resources.

## Changes

### Controller Implementation
- Added detectKagentAPIVersion() to automatically detect available kagent API version
- Added getPreferredKagentAPIVersion() to check for user preference via env var
- Added createKagentRemoteMCPServerObject() for v1alpha2 RemoteMCPServer creation
- Updated ensureKagentToolServer() to support both v1alpha1 and v1alpha2
- Updated deleteKagentToolServer() to handle both resource types

### Helm Chart Configuration
- Added optional kagentIntegration.apiVersion to prefer v1alpha2 when available
- Added KAGENT_API_VERSION environment variable to operator deployment
- Added RBAC permissions for kagent.dev/remotemcpservers resources

### Key Features
- Automatic API version detection - uses the highest available version
- Backward compatible - defaults to v1alpha1 if v1alpha2 not available
- User can explicitly prefer v1alpha2 via Helm values
- Seamless migration path from v1alpha1 to v1alpha2

### Testing
- Added tests for API version detection logic
- Added tests for RemoteMCPServer object creation
- Updated existing tests to handle both API versions
- Fixed test parallelization issues with environment variables

## Why This Change?

Kagent v1alpha2 introduces the RemoteMCPServer resource which replaces
the v1alpha1 ToolServer resource. This change ensures ToolHive can work
with both versions of kagent, providing a smooth migration path for users.

The implementation maintains backward compatibility while being ready for
the newer kagent API version.
