docs: migrate Headlamp install namespace from kube-system to headlamp

Doc-only: redirect all references to Headlamp's own install
namespace from kube-system to headlamp, except:
- Driver namespace (CLAUDE.md) stays kube-system (upstream)
- CSI controller API paths (docs/architecture/overview.md) stay
  kube-system (upstream workload)
