[release-1.17] Fix ResourceDeletionStatusTracker key Kind mismatch in terminating-namespace wait (#9987) (#10163)

* Fix ResourceDeletionStatusTracker key Kind mismatch in terminating-namespace wait (#9987)

EnsureNamespaceExistsAndIsReady wrote the tracker key with namespace.Kind
(getNamespace() sets Kind=Namespace) but read it with clusterNS.Kind
(client.Get strips TypeMeta -> Kind=empty). The keys never matched, so the
skip-path never fired and every item in a terminating namespace paid the full
--terminating-resource-timeout wait (per-resource instead of per-namespace).

Use the passed-in namespace object for Contains so Add/Contains keys match.
Add a regression test that reproduces the production Kind divergence.

(cherry picked from commit de32d93b8e)

* Rename changelog to match backport PR number 10163

hack/changelog-check.sh requires changelogs/unreleased/<current PR number>-*, so the backport needs the backport PR's number rather than the original PR's (#9987).

* Pin e2e third-party clones to reviewed commits

Pin bitnami/containers and distributed-data-generator to fixed SHAs instead of building default-branch HEAD, and add a minimal permissions block.

(cherry picked from commit 02fe822860)

* bump the setup kind action

update kind setup action to helm/kind-action@v1 and use
FORCE_JAVASCRIPT_ACTIONS_TO_NODE24: true to suppress warning.

Also set cluster_name: "kind" (helm/kind-action defaults to
"chart-testing"), matching the follow-up made on main.
