Bump k8s to 1.26

[jmrodri]

What do you want to happen?

To bump to use Kubernetes version 1.26 we need to:

• Generate the envtools for it (it is done)

The build is made from the branch tools-releases. So, we need to create a PR to generate tools with the latest binaries version

• bump controller-tools for a version using the k8s 1.26 - ✨ upgrade k8s from 1.25 to 1.26 #3147

• the declarative plugin usually also needs to be updated: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/master/pkg/plugins/golang/declarative/v1/api.go#L35 (we usually contribute with the project to ensure that is bumped to use the latest k8s version)

• PR: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder-declarative-pattern/pull/291/files

• bump controller-runtime latest release using k8s 1.26 (go/v3 and go/v4-alpha plugins only): ✨ upgrade k8s from 1.25 to 1.26 #3147

• Update kubebuilder CLI to use the k8s 1.26 -> it is no longer required because we remove the alpha option gen-config.

• Update the CI for we begin to test against k8s 1.26, see: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#where-the-ci-tests-are-configured
