feat(keycloak): enable offline_access for kubernetes OIDC client

Add the offline_access optional client scope to the `kubernetes`
kubelogin client so the operator's kubectl can request long-lived
OFFLINE refresh tokens (--oidc-extra-scope=offline_access) instead of
being forced to re-auth on the realm's ONLINE session timeouts
(ssoSessionIdleTimeout 30m / ssoSessionMaxLifespan 10h). Offline tokens
honour offlineSessionIdleTimeout 30d with no hard max lifespan.

- keycloak-realm-import.yaml: add optionalClientScopes: [offline_access]
  to the kubernetes client so a fresh realm import reproduces it.
- k8s-oidc-rbac.yaml: document the kubeconfig exec-arg
  (--oidc-extra-scope=offline_access) + clear-cache/re-login steps.

Realm session timeouts unchanged; scope is optional (opt-in) and
client-only. Applied live via kcadm (reversible).

# The `--oidc-extra-scope=offline_access` arg makes kubelogin request an OFFLINE refresh token instead
# of an ONLINE one, so the CLI is not forced to re-login on the realm's ONLINE session timeouts
# (ssoSessionIdleTimeout 30m / ssoSessionMaxLifespan 10h). Offline tokens honour offlineSessionIdleTimeout
# (30 days idle) with offlineSessionMaxLifespanEnabled=false (no hard cap). Backed by the `offline_access`
# OPTIONAL client scope on the `kubernetes` client (see keycloak-realm-import.yaml). After adding the arg,
# clear the cached ONLINE token once so the next login mints an offline one:
# kubectl oidc-login clean # (or: rm -f ~/.kube/cache/oidc-login/*)
# kubectl get nodes # re-login once to obtain the 30-day offline token
