feat: update matrix to latest patch versions from replicated cluster compatibility

- Update k3s to latest patches: v1.31.10, v1.32.6
- Update kind to latest patches: v1.31.9, v1.32.5 (confirmed 1 node max)
- Update EKS to v1.31, v1.32 (both versions supported, contrary to previous assumption)
- Change EKS instance type from r1.medium to c5.large (EKS-compatible)
- Remove all exclusions - all 7 matrix combinations now supported
- Update documentation with accurate version compatibility matrix

Based on 'replicated cluster versions' output:
- k3s: supports v1.30.0-v1.33.2, max 10 nodes
- kind: supports v1.26.15-v1.33.1, max 1 node
- EKS: supports v1.27-v1.33, max 10 nodes, requires c5/m5/m6i/m7 instances
