Migrate from deprecated fakeclient.NewSimpleClientset to NewClientset

[ArangoGutierrez]

Summary

With the upgrade to k8s.io/client-go v0.35.0 (PR #2396), fakeclient.NewSimpleClientset is now deprecated in favor of NewClientset.

The deprecation message states:

NewClientset replaces this with support for field management, which significantly improves server side apply testing. NewClientset is only available when apply configurations are generated (e.g. via --with-applyconfig).

Affected Files

The following files have //nolint:staticcheck directives that should be removed once the migration is complete:

• pkg/nfd-master/nfd-api-controller_test.go
• pkg/nfd-master/nfd-master-internal_test.go
• pkg/nfd-master/nfd-master_test.go
• pkg/nfd-master/updater-pool_test.go
• pkg/nfd-worker/nfd-worker-internal_test.go
• pkg/nfd-worker/nfd-worker_test.go
• pkg/resourcemonitor/podresourcesscanner_test.go (file-level nolint directive)

Required Work

1. Generate apply configurations for the fake client (requires --with-applyconfig flag in code generation)
2. Replace all fakeclient.NewSimpleClientset() calls with fakeclient.NewClientset()
3. Remove all //nolint:staticcheck directives added in PR build(deps): bump the k8sio group across 1 directory with 2 updates #2396
