Issue:
Meta Issue for k8s 1.33 bump
Meta Issue for k8s 1.33 bump

In order to bump Operator SDK to support Kubernetes 1.33 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)

 - [x] sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime
 - [x]  sigs.k8s.io/controller-tools
 - [x]  operator-framework/operator-manifest-tools https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-manifest-tools/pull/85

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

- [x]  operator-framework/api https://github.com/operator-framework/api/pull/432

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

- [x]  operator-framework/operator-registry https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-registry/pull/1699
- [x]  operator-framework/operator-lib https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-lib/pull/241

Step 3.2: upgrade kubebuilder

- [x]  sigs.k8s.io/kubebuilder/v4 https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/releases/tag/v4.6.0

Step 4: upgrade operator-framework plugins

- [x] operator-framework/ansible-operator-plugins https://github.com/operator-framework/ansible-operator-plugins/pull/151

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

- [x]  Bump Ginkgo/v2 and Kubebuilder 1.33 https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk/pull/6954
- [x]  Bump SDK to use k8s 1.33
