Operator IPAM Allocation Starvationcritical

When cilium_operator_ipam_needed_ips exceeds cilium_operator_ipam_ips, pods cannot be scheduled due to IP exhaustion. This is exacerbated by high cilium_operator_ipam_deficit_resolver_time_seconds, indicating the operator is struggling to provision new IPs from the cloud provider.
