e2e: use port-forward instead of hostPort for registry access

Replace the localhost:30000 hostPort-based registry access with
Kubernetes port-forwarding. This makes the test runner work regardless
of the cluster network topology (not just kind with extraPortMappings).

- Remove port 30000 extraPortMappings from kind configs
- Add PortForward() to the registry package using SPDY
- Use port-forward in e2e steps and extension-developer-e2e
- Remove LOCAL_REGISTRY_HOST env var (no longer needed)
- Keep NodePort service for containerd on kind nodes (hosts.toml)
