[release-4.17] OCPBUGS-103280: CVE-2026-33814: replace golang.org/x/net with openshift-sustaining fork

[mariocr73]

golang.org/x/net's real fix for CVE-2026-33814 (GO-2026-4918, malformed SETTINGS_MAX_FRAME_SIZE causing an infinite loop in golang.org/x/net/http2) ships in v0.53.0, which requires go>=1.25. This branch's go.mod declares go 1.22.0, so a direct module bump is not buildable here without also bumping the builder toolchain.

Uses replace golang.org/x/net => github.com/openshift-sustaining/net v0.50.0-sec.3 (the sustaining team's own downstream fork) which backports only the CVE-2026-33814 fix without requiring a toolchain bump. Same mechanism already used by other components in this CVE (e.g. openshift/csi-operator, openshift/azure-disk-csi-driver-operator, openshift/route-controller-manager). Note: legacy pre-monorepo repo (this component moved into openshift/csi-operator starting release-4.18).

Verified: go build ./... and go vet ./... pass with this branch's real toolchain; govulncheck no longer reports GO-2026-4918 for this module.
