OCPBUGS-113580: Bound NodePool metrics cache reads

[bryan-cox]

What this PR does / why we need it:

Bounds the NodePool metrics collector cache-read phase with a shared five-second timeout. Controller-runtime cache reads block until their informers synchronize; using a background context allowed a /metrics scrape to hang indefinitely when CAPI conversion was unavailable.

This is defense-in-depth independent of #9387. That PR removes metrics from operator health probes and exposes webhook-aware readiness; this PR ensures an external Prometheus scrape cannot remain blocked forever on unsynchronized MachineSet or MachineDeployment informers.

The regression test intercepts a blocked cache List, verifies that collection supplies a deadline, and confirms the scrape returns after context cancellation.

Failure evidence: Azure self-managed run 2091848958857973760.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The node-pool metrics collector now has a configurable cache-read timeout, initialized to five seconds. Collect applies the timeout to HostedCluster, MachineSet, MachineDeployment, and NodePool cache reads. It cancels the read context before metric aggregation and uses a background context for vCPU aggregation. A test verifies deadline propagation, context.DeadlineExceeded, and prompt completion.

Name the default cache-read timeout.

The literal 5 * time.Second is a policy value. Define a named constant such as defaultCacheReadTimeout and use it here.

457-474: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the configured timeout.

The test sets collector.cacheReadTimeout to 10 milliseconds, but it only checks that some deadline exists and that collection finishes within one second. A regression that uses a much larger timeout can still pass.

Capture the deadline in the interceptor and assert that it is close to the configured 10-millisecond timeout.

Exercise the real cache-reader wait.

The interceptor proves context propagation, but not controller-runtime cache synchronization. Add a bounded test with an unsynchronized informer. Assert a Kubernetes timeout error (apierrors.IsTimeout(err)), because controller-runtime v0.24.1 returns apierrors.NewTimeoutError, not context.DeadlineExceeded.
