Add ordered pod label policies with namespace fallback. Apply the selected mode throughout eviction, timeout deletion and completion checks, preserve referenced labels in the informer cache, and reject stale pod deletions. Cover mixed workloads, label changes, partial drains and restart recovery with API and end-to-end tests. Signed-off-by: Saibernard Yogendran <bernie97@seas.upenn.edu>

It validates and compiles policies, preserves required labels in informer caches, applies mode-specific filters during draining, and adds Helm, unit, integration, and end-to-end coverage.

We have also done a lot of optimization around memory usage in the drainer recently, can we add a section here that talks about what the impact of this change (if any) would be on the overall memory footprint of the component?

| Add an optional ordered `podDrainPolicies` list. Each policy matches a standard Kubernetes pod label selector and an optional namespace-name glob, then selects an existing drain mode. The first matching policy wins; unmatched pods fall back to `userNamespaces`. |

Can we make this either/or to make the implmentation simpler? As in, the user can either specify userNamespaces or podDrainPolicies but not both?

Summary
Workloads in the same namespace can have different shutdown needs. This adds
podDrainPoliciesso, for example, a worker can be evicted immediately while a training job in the same namespace is allowed to finish.Policies match pod labels and are checked in order. The first match sets the drain mode. Pods that do not match a policy continue to follow
userNamespaces. These rules also apply when a drain is retried or node-drainer restarts.This adds the pod-label selection discussed in #1689.
Type of Change
Component(s) Affected
Testing
The node-drainer tests passed with race detection and integration tests enabled: 130 passed, with one existing test skipped. All 57 Helm tests passed, along with lint, vet, Helm rendering, dependency checks and the Linux AMD64 build.
Local end-to-end testing passed for 13 selected scenarios with PostgreSQL and five with MongoDB. These include different drain modes in one namespace, restart recovery, timeouts and partial GPU drains. GPU tests used the repository's simulated devices.
The local stack also hit an existing PostgreSQL aggregation error in health-events-analyzer. That component is unchanged by this PR.
The PR also corrects the CRD fixture path so the existing custom-drain integration test can run.
