DevContainer User 3b9d007e8b feat: initial kube-vip Headlamp plugin
Headlamp plugin providing visibility into kube-vip virtual IP and load
balancer deployments. Features:

- Overview dashboard with deployment status, VIP mode, leader election
- Services page with LoadBalancer VIP assignments and detail panels
- Nodes page showing kube-vip pod status and leader designation
- Configuration page with DaemonSet config, IP pools, leases
- Service detail section injected into native Headlamp Service views

Read-only plugin — no cluster write operations. Uses standard K8s
resources (no CRDs): Services, Nodes, Pods, DaemonSets, Leases,
ConfigMaps with kube-vip.io/* annotations.

74 tests across 7 test files. All tsc/lint/format/test checks pass.

| "kube-vip Not Detected" | No kube-vip pods in kube-system | Install kube-vip per https://kube-vip.io/docs/installation/ |
| No IP pools shown | kubevip ConfigMap not found | Install kube-vip-cloud-provider |
| Services show "Pending" VIP | No IP pool configured or pool exhausted | Add IP ranges to kubevip ConfigMap |
| Leader shows "—" | No kube-vip leases found | Verify leader election is enabled (`vip_leaderelection=true`) |
