fix some test flakes 1-009 1-012 1-030 & 1-067

What type of PR is this?
/kind failing-test

What does this PR do / why we need it:

Hardens three flaky tests that have been failing Kind/Prow on some PRs (including UI tests).

The flakes were races not slow tests so no bump assertion timeouts:

• 1-009 / 1-012: wait until dest-namespace controller RBAC (and the cluster secret listing the ns) is in place before creating the app.
• 1-067: HaveReadyReplicas can pass on old Redis HA pods mid-rollout then exec reads pre-TLS redis.conf. Wait for the SS spec to mount TLS a completed rollout (currentRevision == updateRevision) and then server-0 to be the post-TLS pod. (drops the 10m wait).
• 1-030: Route admitted and pods Ready still left the GET on OpenShift’s default “Application is not available” page. Wait for HaveAdmittedIngress, a non-empty argocd-server-tls cert, and the Argo CD UI (treat the default-backend page as not ready).

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Improved OpenShift end-to-end test reliability by validating complete StatefulSet rollouts, revision updates, generation synchronization, and pod readiness.
  • Added checks for controller permissions, service account bindings, and managed namespace configuration before cross-namespace operations.
  • Strengthened Redis high-availability testing by waiting for replacement pod readiness after TLS changes.
  • Adjusted polling intervals and timeouts to better accommodate asynchronous environment changes and reduce premature test failures.

Walkthrough

The changes add a StatefulSet rollout matcher and strengthen OpenShift E2E synchronization. Tests wait for namespace resources, managed namespace data, completed Redis rollouts, replacement pods, and Redis configuration readiness.

Changes

OpenShift E2E synchronization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
StatefulSet rollout contract test/openshift/e2e/ginkgo/fixture/statefulset/fixture.go	Adds HaveCompletedRollout, which checks ready and updated replica counts, matching non-empty revisions, and observed generation synchronization.
Namespace resource readiness test/openshift/e2e/ginkgo/parallel/1-009_validate-manage-other-namespace_test.go, test/openshift/e2e/ginkgo/sequential/1-012_validate-managed-by-chain_test.go	Tests wait for Roles, RoleBindings, service-account references, and cluster-secret namespace data before creating applications. Application polling intervals change from 1 second to 5 seconds.
Redis rollout validation test/openshift/e2e/ginkgo/sequential/1-067_validate_redis_secure_comm_no_autotls_ha_test.go	The Redis HA test waits for a completed StatefulSet rollout, validates TLS configuration, confirms StatefulSet recreation, and verifies a new running and ready server-0 pod on the updated revision before checking Redis and Sentinel configuration.
