pause container registry change

For the past few days, pulling gcr.io/google_containers/pause:3.2 has failed sporadically:

$ docker pull gcr.io/google_containers/pause:3.2
Error response from daemon: unknown: failed to resolve reference "gcr.io/google_containers/pause:3.2": unexpected status from HEAD request to https://gcr.io/v2/google_containers/pause/manifests/3.2: 400 Bad Request

Also Artifact Hub scanning is failing:

error scanning image gcr.io/google_containers/pause:3.2: error running trivy on image gcr.io/google_containers/pause:3.2: 2026-02-11T18:45:49Z FATAL Fatal error run error: image scan error: scan error: scan failed: failed analysis: unable to get the image ID: unable to get the image ID: GET https://gcr.io/v2/google_containers/pause/blobs/sha256:80d28bedfe5dec59da9ebf8e6260224ac9008ab5c11dbbe16ee3ba3e4439ac2c: NAME_INVALID: Request contains an invalid argument.

(package linkerd-multicluster:2025.10.6)

It appears the gcr.io/google_containers registry is no longer favored and instead the registry.k8s.io has been what's officially supported, so we're switching to that one.

Don't install Gateway API in the multicluster integration test target cluster

As of k8s v1.34, k3d's Traefik is installing the Gateway API on its own, among which there is a backendtglspolicies CRD pointing to v1.4, which conflicts with v1.2.0 that we are attempting to install.

Therefore this change moves the GWAPI installation step from the go test to the actions workflow, applying the GWAPI manifests only where necessary.

For the past few days, pulling `gcr.io/google_containers/pause:3.2` has
failed sporadically:

```

It appears the `gcr.io/google_containers` registry is no longer favored
and instead the `registry.k8s.io` has been what's [officially
supported](https://kubernetes.io/blog/2022/11/28/registry-k8s-io-faster-cheaper-ga/),
so we're switching to that one.

probably want to pull this gwapi version into an argument or env var or something so that it's override able and so that this constant is easier to find and update when we want to increase the gwapi version we want to test with.
