Add warning label to UI about deploying cloud provider apps on k3s/rke2 clusters #10058

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I encountered errors when deploying the vSphere CPI chart on the latest 2.7 via the app catalog/UI because the vsphere cloud provider uses the same port as the rke2 cloud provider. This was fixed in https://github.com/rancher/rke2/issues/1844 but the fix only works when deploying via kubectl/helm and according to @brandond see https://github.com/rancher/rke2/issues/1844#issuecomment-1819746969 we don't recommend deploying cloud provider charts via the app catalog. The reasons for this are not obvious/hidden in the backend so I suggest we add a warning to the UI if a user tries to do so.

Example

Installing a vSphere cloud provider chart via the app catalog is not recommended for k3s/rke2 clusters due to port conflicts. Please install manually.

There may be other charts that this applies to as well.

@nwmac do we need to put this in Jira at all? This looks like a scenario that we should handle better but this may have to go through design review.

How about something like:

Installing Cloud Provider charts via App Catalog is not supported. Please select the correct Cloud Provider when provisioning the cluster, or select "External" and deploy a Cloud Provider via Add-On Config/Additional Manifest.
