LVMVolumeGroup objects accumulate annotations with the prefix
wiped.devices.lvms.openshift.io/ (one per node) that are never cleaned up
when nodes are deleted, causing annotations to exceed Kubernetes' 256KB
limit and resulting in vg-manager reconciliation errors.

Add cleanupNodeAnnotations() to remove stale node annotations and move
existing finalizer cleanup from poll-based LVMCluster reconciliation to the
dedicated node removal controller. This provides event-driven cleanup at the
precise moment of LVMVolumeGroupNodeStatus deletion, eliminating race
conditions and improving efficiency by targeting the specific deleted node
rather than scanning all VolumeGroups on every reconciliation.

Changes:
- Add cleanupNodeAnnotations() to remove stale wiped-devices annotations
- Move cleanupNodeFinalizers() from LVMCluster to node removal controller
- Clean up before NodeStatus deletion to ensure no orphaned references
- Remove checkStaleNodeFinalizers() from LVMCluster controller (moved)

Hi @jlhuilier-1a. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a openshift member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.
