Improve ENI cleanup coordination and interface detection

Implements a more granular locking strategy for ENI cleanup operations:

- Adds node-level coordination for DPDK/SR-IOV ENIs while using granular locking for standard ENIs
- Enhances interface detection with better logging and retry mechanisms
- Improves wait logic for expected interfaces to appear based on NodeENI attachments
- Updates image references to use the fixed AL2023 DPDK setup version
- Adds more detailed logging for troubleshooting coordination issues

These changes help prevent race conditions during cleanup operations while allowing higher parallelism for standard ENI operations.
