OCPBUGS-65824: Add dynamic NodePort range validation to prevent cluster creation failures

[jparrill]

What this PR does / why we need it:

This PR adds validation for NodePort.Port to ensure ports fall within the cluster's configured ServiceNodePortRange. This prevents late failures during cluster provisioning when the control-plane-operator rejects ports outside the acceptable range.

The problem: When creating a hosted cluster with NodePort set to values like 10000, the creation fails because the port is outside the acceptable range (typically 30000-32767), but this validation only happens late in the process after resources are already created.

The solution:

• Adds dynamic validation that reads cluster-specific ServiceNodePortRange configuration
• Validates NodePort.Port against the configured range (supports custom ranges, not just default)
• Allows port 0 (dynamic assignment)
• Provides clear error messages with the actual configured range
• Ensures early failure with immediate feedback

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Fixes https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OCPBUGS-65824

Special notes for your reviewer:

• The validation is dynamic - it reads the cluster's ServiceNodePortRange configuration instead of hardcoding 30000-32767
• This supports customers who may have custom port ranges configured
• No CRD changes were made - validation is runtime-only to support configurable ranges
• One existing test was updated (port 4433 → 30443) because it was using an invalid NodePort
• All existing tests continue to pass

Checklist:

• Subject and description added to both, commit and PR.
• Relevant issues have been referenced.
• This change includes docs. (Function documentation explains the validation logic)
• This change includes unit tests. (Added comprehensive tests for range parsing and validation)

Walkthrough

This PR adds NodePort range validation to the HostedCluster controller by introducing internal helper functions to parse and validate node port ranges. It includes comprehensive tests for the new functionality and adds a .work/ directory ignore rule to .gitignore.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Configuration .gitignore	Added ignore rule for .work/ directory (Claude Code working directory).
NodePort Range Validation hypershift-operator/controllers/hostedcluster/hostedcluster_controller.go, hypershift-operator/controllers/hostedcluster/hostedcluster_controller_test.go	Introduced internal helpers parseNodePortRange() and validateNodePortPortRange() for parsing and validating NodePort ranges with defaults (30000–32767). Extended validation flow to check NodePort values. Updated existing test expectation (4433 → 30443) and added comprehensive test cases for range parsing and validation. Tests contain duplicate definitions.
