Feature Request: Support bundling Validating Admission Policy resources in registry+v1 bundles

Feature Request

Describe the problem you need a feature to resolve.

Validating Admission Policy API has been available in Kubernetes since v1.30. It provides great benefits to operator authors: it offers complex validations without the complexity of webhooks.

Currently Validating Admission Policy seem to be silently ignored by operator sdk tooling when building bundles. This could lead to undesired resource state for operators which rely on validating admission policies.

I would be great to enable support for validating admission policy resources in operator SDK & OLM.

Describe the solution you'd like.

• Allow registry+v1 bundles to include ValidatingAdmissionPolicy and ValidatingAdmissionPolicyBinding.
• When a bundle contains these resources and csv.Spec.minKubeVersion is not set or set to be less then 1.30 it should fail the build.
• OLM should be able to handle it
