Fixes #6652

Standardize the default namespace for global (cluster-scoped/descoped) Camel K operator installations to camel instead of camel-k. This aligns with the namespace convention adopted across the Camel ecosystem, such as in camel-tooling/camel-monitor-operator#195, so all Camel-based operators deploy into the same default namespace.

Summary of Changes

• Kustomize Overlay: Updated install/overlays/all-namespaces/kustomization.yaml to use camel as the default namespace.
• Makefile: Updated DEFAULT_NS and the install-k8s-global target to default to camel.
• E2E Support: Updated test helpers in e2e/support/test_support.go to copy dev registry configurations and dump the operator namespace from camel.
• E2E Upgrade Test: Updated e2e/upgrade/upgrade_test.go to install the previous released operator version into camel by wrapping the remote overlay in a local Kustomization specifying the operator namespace.
• CI Workflows: Updated GitHub Actions and E2E test workflows to create and wait for the operator in the camel namespace.
• Documentation: Updated installation, contributing, registry, and uninstallation guides to reference camel.

@squakez please inform me if any changes are required

[squakez]

Please, rebase, there is a conflict. Also, don't worry about the build check failure as it is an issue appeared in main which we will fix separately.

[Thundercloud12]

@squakez hey pushed the changes the main reason for the recent failure stems from the fact that tests are using still camel k

[Thundercloud12]

@squakez did it, pleaase have a look, than you!

[Thundercloud12]

@squakez rebased it, use agent on this one to fix the ci errors

[squakez]

If we merge this we must create a follow up issue in order to remind to revert the upgrade test change when moving to the next minor version

[squakez]

arkmq workflow is still using camel-k namespace apparently.

[Thundercloud12]

@squakez please have a look, the arkmq one now references camel-k correctly

[squakez]

Ouch. We have the same namespace problem for network policy workflow now. Please, fix and it should be complete to be merged afterwards.

[Thundercloud12]

@squakez done, please have a look!
