Do not treat PodScheduled as allocation-annotation provenance.

A workload author can modify the allocation annotation on a legitimately scheduled HAMi Pod. After a scheduler cache rebuild, onAddPod decodes the modified annotation, reaches this record operation, and excludes the node from new HAMi allocations. PodScheduled confirms placement, but it does not make Pod annotations immutable. Protect scheduler-owned allocation annotations with admission or RBAC controls, or use scheduler-owned immutable evidence before quarantining the node. Add a replay test for this path.

In `@pkg/scheduler/scheduler.go` at line 215, Update onAddPod so
allocationDecodeFailures.record is not triggered solely by PodScheduled or a
decoded allocation annotation; require scheduler-owned immutable evidence, or
enforce ownership through admission/RBAC before quarantining the node. Add a
scheduler cache-rebuild replay test covering a legitimately scheduled HAMi Pod
with a modified allocation annotation and verify the node is not excluded from
new allocations.
