[8.17] (backport #8484) [test] split up k8s integration tests

[mergify]

What does this PR do?

• Split Kubernetes integration tests into a dedicated testing/integration/k8s package.
• Removed the need for the kubernetes build tag; Kubernetes tests are now always compiled as part of the normal integration tag.
• Introduced a TestMain entrypoint in the new package, enabling centralized setup logic.
• Renamed mage targets to be consistent with other test oriented mage targets:
  • integration:TestKubernetes (formerly integration:Kubernetes)
  • integration:TestKubernetesMatrix (formerly integration:KubernetesMatrix)
  • integration:TestKubernetesSingle (formerly integration:KubernetesSingle)
• Updated all references in Buildkite pipeline and documentation accordingly.
• Performed mechanical moves of existing Kubernetes test files into the new package (journald_test.go, kubernetes_agent_service_test.go, kubernetes_agent_standalone_test.go, otel_helm_test.go, and their respective testdata).

Why is it important?

This PR continues the ongoing effort of modularizing the ever-growing integration package as part of #8087. Specifically, it addresses the Kubernetes test split described in #8412.

Having Kubernetes tests in a dedicated package offers multiple benefits:

• Better test ownership and isolation of Kubernetes-specific test logic.
• With this PR and the introduction of the dedicated TestMain, we unlock further future improvements for developer velocity:
  • We can load container images into the kind cluster only once per test run.
  • We can render Kustomize YAML manifests once upfront, avoiding per-test Kustomize render calls which are prone to network-transient failures.
