OCPBUGS-77876:Backport: Remove duplicated graceful termination test from release-4.18

[wangke19]

Summary

Backport of #29930 to fix failing test in release-4.18 Hypershift environments.

Original Commit

• OCPBUGS-77878:auditloganalyzer: update test name, remove duplicated test #29930
• Author: Vadim Rutkovsky vrutkovs@redhat.com
• Message: "graceful_termination: remove duplicated test - This test is already performed by auditloganalyzer"

Problem Fixed

The test "API LBs follow /readyz of kube-apiserver and stop sending requests before server shutdowns for external clients" is failing in Hypershift/HCP environments.

Failure symptoms:

Expected
    <string>: tail: '/var/log/kube-apiserver/audit.log' has appeared; following new file{"kind":"Event",...
to have prefix
    <string>: {"kind":"Event",

The test expects audit log lines to start with {"kind":"Event", but in Hypershift environments, the log output includes a tail: prefix from the container's log collection mechanism.

Solution

This test was removed from main because:

1. The functionality is already covered by the auditloganalyzer test
2. The test implementation has issues in Hypershift/HCP environments where audit logs are collected differently
3. Removing the duplicate test eliminates the false failures

Changes

• Removes the duplicated "external clients" graceful termination test
• Removes unused imports (compress/gzip, io, ioutil, os, path, filepath, configv1, clihelpers)
• 123 lines removed

Test Plan

• Verify the test is removed in release-4.18
• Confirm CI passes without this test
• Verify auditloganalyzer still covers this functionality
