Optimize init pool: Reduce VM/Pod API calls

…y usage

Introduce pagination with 500 namespaces per page when gathering
managed namespaces during initialization.
This prevents loading all namespaces into memory at once in clusters
with thousands of namespaces.

Signed-off-by: Ram Lavi <ralavi@redhat.com>
Change getManagedNamespaces to return map[string]struct{} instead of
[]string, making it more idiomatic Go.
This set will be used in future commits to easily check whether a ns is
managed or not.

Signed-off-by: Ram Lavi <ralavi@redhat.com>
Currently during VM pool map init, only managed namespaces are called,
but for each we do an API call, which can be slow in clusters with
large number of namespaces.
Replace per-namespace VM listing with cluster-wide listing and in-memory
filtering, while keeping the pagination to avoid over using the memory.
This dramatically reduces API calls during initialization.

The Trade-off is fetching VMs from unmanaged namespaces then filters
them out, but the network overhead is negligible compared to the latency
savings from fewer round trips.

Increase the pagination limit from 100 to 500 when fetching VMs during
initialization.
This further reduces API calls by fetching larger batches.
