Strip remaining webhook-only scaffold and network-policy manifests

Follows the approved lean-down plan
(docs/plans/2026-08-08-1335-lean-scaffold-cleanup.md). Removes from the
application's deployed footprint:

- config/network-policy/ and its commented enable line -- the user does
  not need network policies at the moment.
- The webhook-only halves of config/default/kustomization.yaml: the
  commented ../webhook and ../certmanager resource lines, the
  manager_webhook_patch.yaml reference, the serving-cert ->
  Validating/Mutating WebhookConfiguration cainjection replacement
  blocks, and the crdkustomizecainjection* scaffold markers -- anchors
  only for `kubebuilder create webhook`, which is a permanent non-goal.
- The two commented [WEBHOOK] blocks in config/crd/kustomization.yaml
  plus the now-empty patches: key; kept the one-line
  crdkustomizeresource marker since `kubebuilder create api` could
  legitimately run again.
- config/crd/kustomizeconfig.yaml, whose only consumer was the removed
  configurations: block.

Explicitly kept per user direction: all of config/prometheus/, the
paired metrics-TLS-via-cert-manager plumbing (cert_metrics_manager_patch
+ the metrics-certs/ServiceMonitor replacement halves), all RBAC
manifests including the admin/editor/viewer helper roles, and all
developer tooling.

Also records in the execution log why the webhook machinery existed at
all: kubebuilder init emits it unconditionally, verified against the
v4.15.0 binary that no init flag can suppress it -- scaffold-then-prune
is the only supported path, and the pruning pass should have happened
at Step 0.

Verified: kustomize build clean on config/default and config/crd,
go build/vet clean with and without -tags=e2e, make test green with
coverage identical to pre-cleanup.
