rbac: Add networkpolicies

[Jakob-Naucke]

as required by OLM, see e.g. confidential-clusters/operator#161:

"msg": "Operator \"confidential-cluster-operator\" version \"0.2.1\" is missing required NetworkPolicy RBAC (networking.k8s.io/networkpolicies with create, delete, and update/patch)",
"metadata": {
  "code": "olm.required_network_policy_rbac_for_operands",
  "collections": [
    "redhat"
  ],
  "description": "Operators are required to manage the network policies of their operands. This rule verifies that operator bundles request sufficient RBAC permissions to manage NetworkPolicy lifecycle (create, delete, and update/patch) for networking.k8s.io/networkpolicies in their ClusterServiceVersion. Bundles whose operator name and major.minor version are listed in the `operator_network_policy_rbac_exceptions` rule data key are exempt from this requirement. To exclude this rule add \"olm.required_network_policy_rbac_for_operands\" to the `exclude` section of the policy configuration.",
  "effective_on": "2026-08-07T00:00:00Z",
  "solution": "Add a rule granting create, delete, and update/patch on networking.k8s.io/networkpolicies to the ClusterServiceVersion clusterPermissions or permissions, or add the operator name and its major.minor version to the operator_network_policy_rbac_exceptions rule data key.",
  "title": "NetworkPolicy RBAC present in OLM bundle"
}

Forward-port of #339. Tested on confidential-clusters/operator#163.

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:

• For the new NetworkPolicy RBAC rule, consider whether read verbs (get, list, watch) are also required for the operator’s reconciliation logic, to keep behavior consistent with the other managed resources.

That's still a failing integration test because the test runs with the target checked out, not rebased. Have to raise a separate one, sorry for the noise.
