feat: Add RDMA device support with CDI integration

Implements RDMA capability detection and device exposure using the
Mellanox rdmamap library. Adds discovery of RDMA devices (mlx5_*),
protocol detection (RoCE/InfiniBand/iWARP), and automatic injection
of character devices (/dev/infiniband/*) into containers via CDI.

Key changes:
- Add RdmaProvider interface with rdmamap integration
- Expose RDMA character devices (uverbs, umad, issm, rdma_cm)
- Set environment variables for device paths and names
- Add comprehensive unit tests for RDMA functionality

Matches feature parity with sriov-network-device-plugin for RDMA.

Tested on Mellanox ConnectX hardware with RoCE.
