docs: align Kubernetes version requirements across doc versions

[Mirage20]

Purpose

The platform engineer guide and FAQ stated Kubernetes 1.32 or later in every doc version, while the v1.2.x getting started page stated 1.33 or later. The kubectl version was also inconsistent across these pages, and the getting started pages described the cluster version as a recommended baseline rather than a requirement.

Kubernetes 1.32 and 1.33 have both reached end of life, so current and v1.2.x now state 1.34 or later.

Changes

• Current and v1.2.x state Kubernetes 1.34 or later, and kubectl v1.34+, across the deployment topology, FAQ, and getting started pages
• v1.0.x and v1.1.x keep their 1.32 baseline, with a note that the default build workflows need 1.33 or later, since those quick starts create a 1.32 cluster
• Getting started pages now say "Minimum supported Kubernetes version" instead of "Recommended cluster baseline", so all pages state the same requirement
• Removed the kernel, containerd, and runc version requirements. These are implied by the Kubernetes version and are not the only node level dependencies, so listing them is incomplete and hard to keep current.

documentation to explicitly identify Kubernetes 1.34+ as the minimum supported
