Configure IPv4 preference for all network clients
Adds IPv4 preference to all network connections in operator-controller and catalogd when both IPv4 and IPv6 DNS records are available. Changes: - Add IPv4PreferringDialContext dialer function that prefers IPv4 over IPv6 when both are available, with fallback to IPv6-only - Configure http.DefaultTransport to use IPv4 preference for all HTTP clients including containers/image library (fixes image pulling) - Configure Kubernetes REST clients to prefer IPv4 - Update BuildHTTPClient to clone DefaultTransport settings This resolves "network is unreachable" errors when connecting to dual-stack registries on systems without IPv6 connectivity.
