[Improvement] Upgrade MLRun to 1.12.0 and Nuclio to 1.16.10

[royischoss]

📝 Description

This PR upgrades MLRun CE to the MLRun 1.12.0 GA release and Nuclio 1.16.10.

It bumps the MLRun sub-chart from 0.11.23 to 0.11.29 and the Nuclio sub-chart from 0.21.27 to 0.22.10.

The MLRun API, log-collector and UI image tags are no longer pinned to 1.12.0-rc25 in values.yaml, so they follow the sub-chart's appVersion (1.12.0).

🛠️ Changes Made

• charts/mlrun-ce/requirements.yaml:
  • nuclio: 0.21.27 → 0.22.10 (app 1.16.10)
  • mlrun: 0.11.23 → 0.11.29 (app 1.12.0)
• charts/mlrun-ce/requirements.lock: regenerated via make helm-update-dependencies
• charts/mlrun-ce/values.yaml:
  • removed the image.tag: 1.12.0-rc25 overrides from mlrun.api, mlrun.api.sidecars.logCollector and mlrun.ui
  • jupyterNotebook.image.tag: 1.12.0-rc25 → 1.12.0 (Jupyter is templated by this chart, so its tag stays pinned)
• charts/mlrun-ce/Chart.yaml: version 0.12.0-rc.11 → 0.12.0-rc.12, appVersion 1.12.0-rc25 → 1.12.0
• charts/mlrun-ce/README.md: added a 0.12.0 row to the version matrix (MLRun 1.12.0, Nuclio 1.16.10)

🧪 Testing

• helm lint charts/mlrun-ce passes.
• helm template renders with values.yaml alone and combined with each of the three install-mode values files.
• Rendered images: mlrun-api, mlrun-ui, log-collector, jupyter at 1.12.0; Nuclio controller and dashboard at 1.16.10.
• A clean helm install (namespace and PVCs wiped first) on the vmdev137ig4 lab cluster was done with the earlier revision of this PR that used Nuclio 1.17.9 (release deployed, all 26 pods Running, Kafka cluster Ready). It needs to be re-run with Nuclio 1.16.10.
• Not yet tested on a local Docker Desktop environment.

🔍️ Additional Notes

• The install-mode values files need no changes: no new top-level keys were added, and none of them override the removed image tags.
• Nuclio is pinned to 1.16.x (chart 0.22.10, app 1.16.10) rather than the latest 1.17.x because MLRun 1.12.0 supports Nuclio 1.16.x. Upgrading an existing installation in place has not been tested yet.
