fix: kubevirt addon by removing curl dependency

[adilwiser]

fixes #15918

reference: #15918 (comment)

so basically the kubevirt addon was broken and the limitation was also on the official docs here because the bitnami/kubectl image no longer includes curl. i tried fixing stuffs and it works perfect now :D

now this PR improves how KubeVirt is managed by applying manifests directly from URLs using kubectl’s native support, eliminating the need to download them first. It pins the KubeVirt version to v1.7.0 for better reliability and consistency, adds an automated script to update the pinned version, and introduces a Makefile target to run that update easily. The PR also integrates KubeVirt into dependency version tracking and re-enables kubectl version handling that was previously disabled due to an issue.

@medyagh here is the output of minikube with the addon as requested:

Hi @adilwiser. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.
