Fix path to kubectl on host in kubectl-in-pod

kubectl-in-pod.json has a hardcoded path for
kubectl in its hostPath ('/usr/bin/kubectl').
When the test actually runs on gke, kubectl
is available at '/workspace/kubernetes/platforms/linux/amd64/kubectl'
and NOT at '/usr/bin/kubectl'. So we need to
fix the hostPath for the test to work properly.

Fixes #36586
