Meta Issue for k8s 1.31 bump

In order to bump Operator SDK to support Kubernetes 1.31 there are a few dependencies we rely on making the bump first.
This issue is meant to help track all dependencies and the status of their bumps.

Order of dependency bumps

Step 1: upgrade controller-runtime, controller-tools, helm, and operator-framework/operator-manifest-tools(can be done in parallel)

• sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime/releases/tag/v0.19.0)
• sigs.k8s.io/controller-tools (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/controller-tools/releases/tag/v0.16.0) (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/controller-tools/releases/tag/v0.16.1)
• operator-framework/operator-manifest-tools (Updating k8s to 1.31 operator-manifest-tools#64)

Step 2: upgrade operator-framework/api (can be done immediately after controller-runtime & controller-tools)

• operator-framework/api (Bump kubernetes libraries to v0.31.0 and controller-runtime to v0.19.0 api#357) (https://github.com/operator-framework/api/releases/tag/v0.27.0)

Step 3.1: upgrade operator-framework/operator-registry and operator-framework/operator-lib (can be done immediately after operator-framework/api)

• operator-framework/operator-registry (Update k8s dependencies to v0.31.0 operator-registry#1418) (https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-registry/releases/tag/v1.47.0)
• operator-framework/operator-lib (🌱 bump kube to 0.31.0, controller-runtime to v0.19.0, and fix generics issues operator-lib#192) (https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-lib/releases/tag/v0.15.0)

Step 3.2: upgrade kubebuilder

• sigs.k8s.io/kubebuilder/v4 (✨ Add support to k8s 1.31 and upgrade dependencies kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder#4080) (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/releases/tag/v4.2.0)

Step 4: upgrade operator-framework plugins

• operator-framework/ansible-operator-plugins (Update k8s dependencies to 1.31 ansible-operator-plugins#107)

Step 5: upgrade operator-framework/operator-sdk dependencies

• Bump Ginkgo/v2 and Kubebuilder 1.31
• Bump SDK to use k8s 1.31
