Ahmet Alp Balkan 0d800e1367 fix: improve error handling and resource management in kubeconfig (#476)
This change addresses eight key improvements to the kubectx/kubens codebase:

Resource Management Fixes:
- Fix use-after-close bugs where Kubeconfig was accessed after Close()
- Fix resource leaks on error paths by ensuring defer kc.Close() is called
- Fix YAML encoder not being closed after Encode(), causing buffered data loss

API Design Improvements:
- Change ContextNames() to return ([]string, error) instead of silently returning
  nil on error, making parse failures distinguishable from empty results
- Change GetCurrentContext() to return (string, error) instead of returning ""
  for both "not set" and parse error cases
- Update all 16 call sites across cmd/kubectx and cmd/kubens packages to handle
  the new error returns while preserving backward-compatible behavior

Error Handling:
- Add explicit error handling for printer.Success() calls in 5+ locations
  by prefixing unchecked calls with _ =

Performance:
- Add slice pre-allocation in namespace list pagination using slices.Grow()
  before append loops, reducing allocations when fetching 500+ item batches

All changes maintain backward compatibility for missing kubeconfig keys while
improving error transparency and resource safety.
