cmd/k8s-operator: remove deprecated TS_EXPERIMENTAL_KUBE_API_EVENTS (#18893)

Remove the TS_EXPERIMENTAL_KUBE_API_EVENTS env var from the operator and its
helm chart. This has already been marked as deprecated, and has been
scheduled to be removed in release 1.96.

Add a check in helm chart to fail if the removed variable is set to true,
prompting users to move to ACLs instead.

Fixes: #18875
