Fabiano Fidêncio fefc0b75ab kata-deploy: nvidia: Default to the Job-based deployment mode
Switch the NVIDIA GPU example values file to install Kata via the
Job-based deployment mode (deploymentMode: job) instead of the
always-on, privileged DaemonSet, so that nothing keeps running on the
node once the install completes.

To exercise this in our CI, make the helm_helper aware of the deployment
mode coming from the (base) values file:

  - In "job" mode, clear job.nodeSelectorExpressions so the dispatcher
    targets every discovered node.  Our CI clusters are typically
    single-node, where the only node carries the control-plane label,
    and the default selector excludes control-plane/master nodes.

  - There is no always-on DaemonSet to wait on in "job" mode.  The
    dispatcher runs as a blocking post-install hook and the final
    per-node stage labels the node, so wait until at least one node
    carries the katacontainers.io/kata-runtime label as the
    "install complete" signal (dumping Job/pod logs on timeout).
