feat(cluster): Install copr main NetworkManager RPM on NM_VERSION=latest (#1385)

This commit enhances the development cluster setup to support testing with
the latest NetworkManager builds from COPR. Key changes include:

- Add NM_VERSION environment variable support to cluster-up workflow
- When NM_VERSION=latest, install NetworkManager from COPR
  networkmanager/NetworkManager-main repository during cluster setup
- Rename "future" terminology to "latest" for nmstate periodic testing
- Rename automation/nmstate-future-reporter to nmstate-latest-reporter
- Update NMSTATE_PIN variable to NMSTATE_VERSION for consistency
- Enhance Slack bot to report both nmstate and NetworkManager versions
  with clickable links to COPR build pages
- Add COPR API integration to fetch build IDs for version tracking

This allows developers to test kubernetes-nmstate with bleeding-edge
NetworkManager builds alongside nmstate-git, helping identify
compatibility issues early in the development cycle.
