OCPSTRAT-3661: Add Sippy discovered exceptions for RBAC monitor test

[JoelSpeed]

This extends the tests added in #31536 based on new findings from Sippy

Also excludes OLM installed operators that have been picked up in tests where these do not have predictable names and cannot be added to the exceptions list cleanly

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved RBAC escalation monitoring to recognize approved cluster-role bindings used by core platform and integrated services.
  • Added handling for service-account pull secrets, compatibility requirements, and other supported system configurations.
  • OLM-managed bindings generated for ClusterServiceVersions are now excluded from escalation findings, while unlabeled bindings continue to be audited.
• Tests
  • Added coverage validating that OLM-managed bindings are skipped appropriately and unmarked bindings remain subject to auditing.

Pipeline controller notification
This repo is configured to use the pipeline controller. Second-stage tests will be triggered either automatically or after lgtm label is added, depending on the repository configuration. The pipeline controller will automatically detect which contexts are required and will utilize /test Prow commands to trigger the second stage.

For optional jobs, comment /test ? to see a list of all defined jobs. To trigger manually all jobs from second stage use /pipeline required command.

Walkthrough

The RBAC escalation monitor adds tracked exceptions for platform controllers and excludes ClusterRoleBindings generated by OLM ClusterServiceVersions. Tests verify that removing the OLM ownership label restores normal evaluation.

Changes

RBAC escalation monitoring

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Tracked platform exceptions pkg/monitortests/authentication/rbacadminescalationtests/monitortest.go	Adds tracked exceptions for CVO, Istiod, Kubemacpool, Nmstate, OLM, CAPI, service-account pull-secrets, and compatibility requirements controllers.
OLM-generated binding filtering pkg/monitortests/authentication/rbacadminescalationtests/monitortest.go, pkg/monitortests/authentication/rbacadminescalationtests/monitortest_test.go	Detects ClusterRoleBindings labeled as generated for a ClusterServiceVersion and skips them during evaluation. Tests verify labeled and unlabeled behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 8e422

This change adds RBAC-monitor exceptions and excludes CSV-owned OLM bindings while preserving evaluation for unlabeled bindings. The behavior is covered by targeted tests, with no remaining merge-readiness risk identified.
